Yep, I see this crash 100% of the time with v3.12-rc2 and
CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y with this qemu invocation and attached
q35-chipset.cfg:

/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -M q35 -readconfig ./q35-chipset.cfg
-enable-kvm -m 512 -drive file=ubuntu.img,if=none,id=mydisk -device
ide-drive,drive=mydisk,bus=ide.0 -nographic -monitor
telnet:localhost:7001,server,nowait,nodelay -kernel
~/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage -append "console=ttyS0,115200n8
root=/dev/sda1 ignore_loglevel printk.time=n"
