With all 3 patches applied, the warning on __update_max_tr finally
goes away. Thanks!

However, this unrelated warning still reliably remains (the same config).
I think it's pci_get_subsys() triggered this assert:

        /*
         * Oi! Can't be having __GFP_FS allocations with IRQs disabled.
         */
        if (DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(irqs_disabled_flags(flags)))
                return;
