I temporarily re-enabled smack instance and it produced another 50
stalls all over the kernel, and now keeps spewing a dozen every hour.

I've mailed 3 new samples, you can see them here:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=de8d933e7d153aa0c1bb

The config is provided, command line args are here:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/dashboard/config/upstream-smack.cmdline
Some non-default sysctls that syzbot sets are here:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/dashboard/config/upstream.sysctl
Image can be downloaded from here:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/docs/syzbot.md#crash-does-not-reproduce
syzbot uses GCE VMs with 2 CPUs and 7.5GB memory, but this does not
look to be virtualization-related (?) so probably should reproduce in
qemu too.
