The address looks like a user space address. Since sys_open() passes
user space arguments - in this case a pointer to the filename. Are you
derefencing the pointer correctly?

I think the handler should first copy_from_user().

Moreover your stack is
[17192146.124000] Call Trace:

and in the code posted, there is no printk in jsys_open(). Have you
sent a revised version of your probe module?
