This report looks like very similar to these two:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=b156665cf4d1b5e00c76
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=3cbe5cd105d2ad56a1df
Maybe we should mark those two as duplicates.
Hillf suggested a fix on one of them, but it looks different from what
you propose:
