Thanks for the report. To be sure the issue doesn't fall through the
cracks unnoticed, I'm adding it to regzbot, the Linux kernel regression
tracking bot:

#regzbot ^introduced 0bff0aaea03e2a3ed6bfa3021
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1212775
#regzbot title mm: failures when building go in 1-3 out of 20 builds
#regzbot ignore-activity

Developers: When fixing the issue, remember to add 'Link:' tags pointing
to the report (the parent of this mail). See page linked in footer for
details.

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
