I'm pretty sure the bug is in the merged 'x86-mm-for-linus' branch:
Either Andy's "PCID optimized TLB flushing" (would be my guess) or
'encrypted memory' support by Tom Lendacky.

(Bisecting is hard, because sometimes I can compile stuff for over 15
minutes without hitting the bug. At other times the machine locks up
hard when starting X11 already.)
