Could you verify if a version before split PMD locks is affected or not? 
I.e. 3.12 (IIRC)? I've checked if there can be race with THP splitting 
and it seems there shouldn't be thanks to pmd_lock() protection. So that 
could be a candidate. Given the recent trinity improvements it would be 
good to determine if it's a new bug or another years old one...

Thanks,
