I would like to see to see a complete fix. This patch changes kthread_get_run() to return NULL. Without adding handling for NULL in the callers of kthread_get_run(), we will start seeing problems.
What problems are you aware of?
Does this patch fix the problem syzbot found?
Yes, this patch as-is avoids the crash syzbot found.
