Other than 4.13.0-rc3 I had tested with 4.11 based kernel which has 4.11 
vanila+some 4.12 patches back ported, and log which I had attached was from 
same kernel, thats why I mentioned that it reproduced with vanilla upstream as 
well.

It was same.

Following is the log from 4.13.0-rc3 + patch pointed by Peter:
