Thanks for the pointers below! I'll fold those into a test branch, so that I
can soak this under Syzkaller over the holiday break.

I've given precise refernces below in case I've misunderstood or missed
something.

Cool! I assume that means commits:

* c0bed69daf4b6780 ("locking: Make owner_on_cpu() into <linux/sched.h>")
  from https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211203075935.136808-2-wangkefeng.wang@huawei.com

* 4cf75fd4a2545ca4 ("locking: Mark racy reads of owner->on_cpu")
  from https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211203075935.136808-3-wangkefeng.wang@huawei.com

... in the tip locking/core branch (the head commit of which is currently
5fb6e8cf53b005d2 ("locking/atomic: atomic64: Remove unusable atomic ops")).

I see the relevant patch is:

* "[PATCH] ubsan: Remove CONFIG_UBSAN_OBJECT_SIZE"
  from https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211203235346.110809-1-keescook@chromium.org/

... and from looking at next-20211214 that's been picked up by Andrew Morton.

Thanks,
Mark.
