Research direction

Start with internal/kldkafka/client.go at line 211, then follow the call from internal/kldrest/webhookskafka.go line 84 and the consumer startup in internal/kldkafka/kafkacommon.go line 249. Reproduce or trace the performance-test crash and identify the nil value reached by MarkOffset; done means the consumer no longer panics in this scenario.
