I wish I knew. In most of these, we see these messages ahead of the
KASAN pops that he's reporting:

[  643.617739] NFSD: Using UMH upcall client tracking operations. 
[  643.617755] NFSD: starting 90-second grace period (net f0000000) 
[  643.780487] svc: failed to register nfsdv3 RPC service (errno 512). 
[  643.780928] svc: failed to register nfsaclv3 RPC service (errno 512). 
[  643.794625] ================================================================== 
[  643.794635] BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in __write_ports_addfd+0x3b9/0x6c0 [nfsd] 
[  643.794779] Write of size 4 at addr 0000000000000058 by task rpc.nfsd/16702 
[  643.794783]  

...

The errno 512 makes me suspect that the rpcbind registration attempt is
catching a signal, and that failure then bubbles up when we're trying to
start the server. I've not been able to reproduce this myself though.
