Thanks Oliver.

The trace is odd in that it hits in GUP when the page allocator is no
longer active and the context is a syscall. First, is this definitely
the first patch the problem occurs?

Second, it's possible for IRQs to be enabled and an IRQ delivered before
preemption is enabled. It's not clear why that would be a problem other
than lacking symmetry or how it could result in the reported BUG but
might as well rule it out. This is build tested only
