If I comment out the added call to vm_normal_page(), the code works fine.
If the call to vm_local_page() is there but everything else from your patch
is commented out, the crash occurs. Also, any log message added to the new
code patch (inside the if statements) is not getting printed, meaning the
new code (besides the call to vm_local_page) is not reached.

I guess that means that something in the call to vm_normal_page() appears
to go wrong. No idea what that might be, though.
