Yes, this is a serious problem and we need to get to the bottom of it.

Could you please describe, in super-simple steps, how one should go about
reproducing it?

Also, the entire strace output for both good and bad kernels might be
useful.  Am wondering what your fd #4 refers to.

A socket, I guess.  It _might_ not be a signal or poll problem at all (but
it probably is, given the track record of those patches).

Do you have time to do a git-bisect?
