By invalidating a frequently occurring issue we only cause syzbot to
report it once again, so it's better to keep the report open until the
root cause is resolved. There'll likely be a report (5) soon.

We keep CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CHAINS_BITS at 16 for arm64 because (at least
in 2022) the kernel used not to boot on GCE arm64 VMs with
CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CHAINS_BITS=18. Maybe it's time to try it once more.
