I suspect two problems, one with your patches that the fuser provokes,
and a separate bug earlier in *-mm that the DEBUG options noted below
provoke.

Details:

In addition to the problem that shows up with the three patches

when running the fuser command:

I am seeing as a separate bug the crash during boot that I reported
last, when I turned on some DEBUG options.  That crash occurs even with
none of your proc patches.

That is, to be specific, with this patch at the top of my applied stack:
     rtc-subsystem-rs5c372-driver.patch

and these patches at the front of my unapplied queue:
     trivial-cleanup-to-proc_check_chroot.patch
     proc-fix-the-inode-number-on-proc-pid-fd.patch

and the debug options:
> CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y
> CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y
> CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP=y

I die during system boot with:
