Looking at the crash patterns in the bisection log it seems that this
is a stack overflow/corruption in wb_workfn. There are other reports
that suggest that simply causing OOM randomly corrupts kernel memory.
The semget is only an easy way to cause OOMs.
But since we now sandbox tests processes with sem sysctl and friends,
I think we can close this report.

#syz invalid

Though the kernel memory corruption on OOMs is still there.
