And it turns out you can only trigger this specific problem if advanced 
ftrace options are enabled.

CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE=y
CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y
CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=y
CONFIG_STACK_TRACER=y
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS=y
CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER=y
CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD=y

Urgh, I had turned those on to try to debug something and forgot to 
disable.  I feel like I saw this problem before I had those enabled so I 
guess I have to start from scratch fuzzing to see if I can get a more
generally reproducible trace.
