I missed replying to this part of your email. We see it as a syzkaller report
with splats, so it is not clear if a task was hung at the time of a splat.
syzkaller runs in its own separate VM instance.

The fun part is though, I found a way to do ftrace dump on it without having to
pass any boot parameters (that's another issue that we can't pass it boot
parameters). So we have that tool in our debug arsenal for these issues, thankfully.

True, possibly.
