Darn, would have been too good if it had only happened with zram. :( Sounds a bit like quickly catching all CPUs in a spin-dead-lock. And I am not sure right now which path to use for debugging. Try turning on lock debug in the kernel, though that often changes timing in ways that prevent the issue from happening again. Or hope its not a hardware driver and try to re-produce in a VM, but even if that is possible there were issues with the crash tools and kernels having certain address space randomization enabled. And that was even before Metldown/Spectre hit us.
