Update: apparently CONFIG_KFENCE can only reduce the probability to
trigger the bug, so it's not a reliable fix. According to all the traces
that we got the soft lockup is always happening to any SLUB allocation
function (__kmalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, and similar), and the instruction
pointer is on a static branch call. And static branches are used only by
KFENCE in SLUB, hence the test of disabling KFENCE.

** Summary changed:

- impish:linux-aws 5.13 panic during systemd autotest
+ impish:linux 5.13 panic during systemd autotest
