quoting Eric's words:

I would ask you to stop sending these reports, we already have syzbot
with a more complete infrastructure.

(unless you have a repro that syzbot doesn't have or you are confident
 that this is true positive)

This seems to be caused due to memory corruption.
skwq_has_sleeper() has NULL check.

Recently I saw some reports similar to what you posted and that seem
unlikely to happen without such an issue in another place.
