It works OK here. Could you please check that the kernel was fully rebuilt? Do a `make clean'? If the kernel was not fully rebuilt then things will go wrong because a structure size was changed.
There is a locking error in that patch, and it needs revision. But that wouldn't explain this crash.
And there is an unrelated use-after-free bug which could cause problems if the fs runs out of space or inodes.
I'll get some fixes out later today.
