I think this should be the rootfs here:

I also attempted to bisect this and ended up at a slightly different
commit to Bjorn: 8c9440fea774 ("Merge tag 'vfs-6.8.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs")
That's a merge of 3f6984e7301f & 5bd3cf8cbc8a, both of which booted for
me. I also tried to bisect in reverse to find the fix a la syzbot, since it
is not broken in 6.9, but that's pretty error prone and I ended up down
branches based on 6.7 and was not able to find the fix.
