This is a real bug, but I dont think it can fix your problem.

Looking again at your crash, we see RCX=0x720, decimal 1824

As its skb->len, we are freeing an skb that was collapsed or something
like that, since 1824 > 1460 (the normal MSS on ethernet)

GRO is off on your machine.

But coincidently 0x0720 is also a blank char for VGA screen...
(0x20 : ASCII space, 0x07 : default attribute)

So maybe you hit a corruption outside of network stack.
