Ah this stack trace. This is different than what Pratyush Anand is
fixing. This is the stack tracer which uses function tracing. The other
fix is to deal with stack traces from events, specifically kprobes. As
he stated, you test with:

# echo stacktrace > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_options
# echo "p kfree" >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable

But anyway, I'm curious, does this fix the issue for you?
