Doesn't the stack of CPU1 show that it's currently handling an interrupt:

[ 215.026612] Call Trace:
[ 215.026612] <IRQ>
[ 215.026612] [<ffffffff81095d07>] native_apic_msr_eoi_write+0x27/0x30
[ 215.026612] [<ffffffff810901c4>] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x34/0xa0
[ 215.026612] [<ffffffff8369c4af>] apic_timer_interrupt+0x6f/0x80
[ 215.026612] <EOI>

Or am I reading that wrong?

In that case, it had nothing to do with pageattr which just happened to be on the stack at that time.
