Has the syzbot audit related configuration recently changed?  At the
very least it looks like you want to configure the system so that it
doesn't panic when an audit record is lost (printk/AUDIT_FAIL_PRINTK
or silent/AUDIT_FAIL_SILENT are better options); look at the
auditctl(8) manpage for some more information (hint: look at the "-f"
option).
