Were you destroying cgroups at the time?
If so, there were some problems with cgroup teardown recently, see
patches:
6fe1f348b3dd ("sched/cgroup: Fix cgroup entity load tracking tear-down")
2f5177f0fd7e ("sched/cgroup: Fix/cleanup cgroup teardown/init")
Which depend on:
aa226ff4a1ce ("cgroup: make sure a parent css isn't offlined before its children")
8bb5ef79bc0f ("cgroup: make sure a parent css isn't freed before its children")
I've no idea if any of that is relevant to your ancient kernel, let
alone applies, that's your problem for using ancient wares.
If you can reproduce with a current kernel (4.6+) then I might look more.
