This decodes to

   0: 13110001 tstne r1, #1
   4: 12211b02 eorne r1, r1, #2048 ; 0x800
   8: 13110b02 tstne r1, #2048 ; 0x800
   c: 03a03000 moveq r3, #0
  10:* e5a03800 str r3, [r0, #2048]! ; 0x800 <-- trapping instruction

and R0 points into the stack. So we are updating a PTE that is located
on the stack rather than in a page table somewhere, which seems very
odd. However, this could be a latent bug that got uncovered by the
VMAP stacks changes.

Unfortunately, the vmlinux.xz file I downloaded from the link below
seems to be different from the one that produced the crash, given that
the LR address of c04cfeb8 does not seem to correspond with
handle_mm_fault+0x60c/0xed0.

Can you please double check the artifacts?
