Not sure, but I'm afraid your guess can be correct...

OK, this is schedule_debug() -> BUG_ON(unlikely(task_stack_end_corrupted(prev)))
in linux-next.
But at first glance this doesn't match the disassembled code... Could you
send me (privately) your kernel/sched/core.c just in case? And .config
please. And, if possible, kernel/sched/core.s
