Thanks for answering!
Yes, I was using the 4.8 hardened-sources. I tried both upgrading to 4.9 and downgrading to 4.7.Still the kernel panics.
However I copied my .config file from previous 4.8 kernel to these sources' install directories.Can you point me to related issues of Grsecurity patches causing the problem? I couldn't find the search capability in mailing list archives.
Thanks in advance.

You didn't mention your kernel version, so I assume you're using the
latest stable hardened-sources. The panic is a known issue for 4.8,
caused by a combination of bugs in the upstream kernel and the
grsecurity patch. You can resolve it by either downgrading to 4.7 or
upgrading to 4.9.
See this thread[0] for more information.
