I tried to run

# echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_all_cpu_backtrace

before running the reproducer, the kernel stops panic. But still, even
if I terminate the execution of the reproducer, kernel continues
dumping task hung logs. After setting bung_task_all_cpu_backtrace back
to 1, it panic immediately during next dump. So I guess it is still a
task hung instead of general protection fault.
