The reproducer is a zero-length file.  So I can do nothing with this
report.

Note that the official syzbot instance will do automatic bisection,
and will allow us to test patches.  The official syzbot instance also
processes the console output so that the stack trace has line numbers
and clickable links to the kernel sources.

This report is **much** less useful than the syzbot report, so please
don't be surprised if people treat this at a significantly lower
priority.  (Even if the reproducer wasn't a zero length file.  :-P  )
