I also observed the same issue with v5.13-rc2 (by merging
android-mainline). Here is my bisect result so far.

(bad) ccd25efcb4fe Merge tag 'v5.13-rc2' into android-mainline
(bad) 3d86ae4fcdff Merge 25a1298726e9 ("Merge tag 'trace-v5.13-rc1' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace") into
android-mainline
(good) 85adc860fdf3 Merge 6efb943b8616e Linux 5.13-rc1 into
android-mainline
