Some further investigation shows I got the panic even though I don't 
have tmpfs mounted with huge=1 or set shmem_huge to 2.

The fault address is passed by x0, which is dest in the implementation 
of copy_page, so it is the destination page.

Yes, as long as I enable those two PAGEALLOC debug options, I can get 
the panic once I run ltp. But, it is not caused any specific ltp test 
case directly, the panic happens randomly during ltp is running.
