This is interesting.  PG_offline is set.

$ git grep SetPageOffline
arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/memtrace.c:              __SetPageOffline(pfn_to_page(pfn));
drivers/hv/hv_balloon.c:                        __SetPageOffline(pg);
drivers/hv/hv_balloon.c:                        __SetPageOffline(pg + j);
drivers/misc/vmw_balloon.c:             __SetPageOffline(page + i);
drivers/virtio/virtio_mem.c:            __SetPageOffline(page);
drivers/xen/balloon.c:  __SetPageOffline(page);
include/linux/balloon_compaction.h:     __SetPageOffline(page);
include/linux/balloon_compaction.h:     __SetPageOffline(page);

But there's no indication that this kernel is running under a
hypervisor:

So I'd agree with Artem, this looks like bad RAM.

... because the string "folio" appears in the crash report?  Come on,
Bagas, you can do better than that.
