No, that doesn't seem like a real cause commit.

The reproducer actually causes a lot of different crashes, which
apparently confused the bisector.

run #0: crashed: general protection fault in ext4_finish_bio
run #1: crashed: general protection fault in ext4_finish_bio
run #2: crashed: KASAN: wild-memory-access Read in force_sig_info_to_task

run #15: crashed: kernel BUG in corrupted
run #16: crashed: general protection fault in mm_update_next_owner
run #17: crashed: general protection fault in mm_update_next_owner

Isn't it a sign of a severe memory corruption caused by the reproducer?
