[Bug 1567622] Re: Kernel Oops - unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000910 in update_blocked_averages
Possibly relevant: the issue does *not* occur if I run my VM with a
single core.

Title:
Kernel Oops - unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
0000000000000910 in update_blocked_averages
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Running in Virtualbox as a guest in a Macbook Pro, I'm running into a
reliably-reproducible kernel oops on Ubuntu 16.04 with Linux
4.4.0-17-generic.
The stack trace isn't always the same, although the error always
happens in the same `update_blocked_averages` function.
Here' one oops:

I can reproduce this reliably using the following script (which relies on Docker). This starts a container, then adds another task into its namespace via `docker exec`, and then kills PID 1 in the container, which tears down the PID namespace and should kill both tasks. If I remove the `docker exec` line, there is no crash.
```
#!/bin/bash
set -exu
cid=$(docker run -it -d ubuntu sleep 1000)
docker exec "$cid" sleep 1000 &
sleep 1
docker kill -s KILL "$cid"
docker run -it --rm ubuntu echo "Alive 1?"
docker run -it --rm ubuntu echo "Alive 2?"
docker run -it --rm ubuntu echo "Alive 3?"
```
In the vast majority of cases, the crash will happen before "Alive 1?"
is printed to the screen. In some cases, it'll happen at "Alive 2?".
I tried reproducing the issue on an AWS instance, with no success so
far.
