OK. Please merge and let's see whether syzkaller can find different ways.

In my environment, this problem behaves very puzzling. While the reproducer
I use is single threaded, changing timing via CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT=y or
even https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/patch.diff?x=13d69ffed00000 avoids
this problem. I can't narrow down what is happening.
Re hibernation/suspend configs, you said disabling them is not
helping, right? Does it still make sense to disable them?
If these configs are enabled, we can at least find some bugs in the
preparation for suspend code. However, as you noted, it will
immediately lead to "lost connection".
Ideally we somehow tweak hibernation/suspend to get to the
hibernation/suspend point and then immediately and automatically
resume.
That will be one of disable-specific-functionality changes.
        This way we could test both suspend and unsuspend code, which
I assume can lead to bugs, and don't cause "lost connection" at the
same time. I guess such a mode does not exist today... and I am not
sure what happens with TCP connections after this.
I don't know whether ssh sessions can survive 10 seconds of
hibernation/suspend. But maybe disabling hibernation/suspend configs
until disable-specific-functionality changes are accepted makes sense.
