Digging around on syzkaller, it looks like there's a similar bug on
jbd2, concerning iptunnels's allocation:

https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=CrashReport&x=13afb19cd00000

And one from ext4:

https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=CrashReport&x=17685330d00000

And from from ext4 with fddup:

https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=CrashReport&x=17685330d00000
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=CrashReport&x=12d326e8d00000

It might not actually be a wireguard bug?
