Built next-20181016 with that enabled - and the exact same kablam.

Started looking at the code, and I noticed that if the .config has

CONFIG_IOSCHED_CFQ=y
# CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED is not set
CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP=y

then the 'struct cfqg_stats' at line 185 of block/cfq-iosched.c ends up being
zero length (which hints that combo of config variables is a pathological
case). I haven't delved through all the #ifdef'ery, but I wonder if there
may be other corner-case issues with that combo....
