Perhaps this is a curse that falls on those who desert XFS ;)

Odd.  I can't see any error at the shmem_delete_inode end nor at the
free_fdtable_rcu end.  It seems to be some kind of corruption, whereby
free_fdtable_rcu is kfree'ing some memory (perhaps fdt->open_fds),
but the address kfreed is that of the shmem_sb_info in which it has
just acquired a spinlock at the top of the stack.

I've not found any kfreeing of uninitialized pointer in fs/file.c.

It could come about through a single-bit error, and I was going to
suggest that you give memtest86+ a good run overnight.  And still do
suggest that, though we seem to have rather too much of a coincidence
for it to be a likely explanation.  But I've no other ideas, sorry.
