Um, so this doesn't pass the laugh test.

It looks like the automated bisection machinery got confused by two
failures getting triggered by the same repro; the symptoms changed
over time.  Initially, the failure was:

crashed: INFO: rcu detected stall in {sys_sendfile64,ext4_file_write_iter}

Later, the failure changed to something completely different, and much
earlier (before the test was even started):

run #5: basic kernel testing failed: failed to copy test binary to VM: failed to run ["scp" "-P" "22" "-F" "/dev/null" "-o" "UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null" "-o" "BatchMode=yes" "-o" "IdentitiesOnly=yes" "-o" "StrictHostKeyChecking=no" "-o" "ConnectTimeout=10" "-i" "/syzkaller/jobs/linux/workdir/image/key" "/tmp/syz-executor216456474" "root@10.128.15.205:./syz-executor216456474"]: exit status 1
Connection timed out during banner exchange
lost connection

Looks like an opportunity to improve the bisection engine?
