Title:
cgroups related kernel panics

Bug description:
Hi!
Recently (throughout the last 6 months) we've upgraded our hypervisor
compute hosts from ubuntu bionic kernel 4.15.* to ubuntu bionic hwe
kernel 5.4.
This month we noticed that several nodes failed due to bugs in cgroups.
Trace was different almost every time, but it all revolves around cgroups -
either null pointer failures, or panic caught by BUG_ON() macro. Looked like
some cgroup didn't exist anymore but somebody tried to access it, thus causing
kernel panic.
Please find the logs attached.
3 of 4 cases happened after a VM shutdown. We tried to spawn lots of VMs,
load them, shut them down, but didn't manage to reproduce the behavior.
Actually, every case is sort of different - patch kernel versions (5.4.0-42
to 5.4.0-66), uptime vary (from 1 day to ~half a year). There are also lots of
hosts with several months of uptime, no issue with them. Also, on 4.15 we've
never seen this behavior, at all.
That's quite disturbing, as I don't want dozens of VMs crash (due to host
outage) at random times for some vague reason...
I didn't manage to find any related bugs on the bug tracker, thus creating
this one.
I wonder if anybody in the community came across something like that.
Could somebody give an advice how to debug further, or where else to report /
look for a similar the case?
