That plus the bisect made it pretty easy to find, thanks for the effort!

Could you double-check that the attached patch fixes it? It seemed to
for me.

The issue was that the new "No changes, easy!" check in the suspect

to 4k and then all hell broke loose.

Oh, and I totally misread the kfence ability to tolerate partial TLB
flushes. Sorry for the noise there!
