Thanks, I did not know about that.

However, as kind of expected, I get a BUG due to a NULL pointer
dereference in print_track():

I tried reverting 1b7e816fc80e ("mm: slub: Fix slab walking for
init_on_free") or disabling init_on_free, but then again I cannot
reproduce the bug and nothing is logged.

Right. At first I thought about some incompatibility between
init_on_free and SLAB_CONSISTENCY_CHECKS, but in that case why would it
only happen with skbuff_head_cache? On the other hand, if it's a bug in
skbuff users, why is the on_freelist() check in free_consistency_check()
not detecting anything when init_on_free is disabled?
