gack. One bug at a time, OK?

Please drop those four patches - that idea didn't work out.

So we know that enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB and/or CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
makes the in_group_p() crash go away, yes?

Running out of ideas here. If you could, please try enabling those debug
options separately, see if that tells us something.
