I think it's this patch:

http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-thp-make-swapin-readahead-under-down_read-of-mmap_sem.patch

Some parts of the code in collapse_huge_page() that were under 
down_write(mmap_sem) are under down_read() after the patch. But there's 
"goto out" which continues via "goto out_up_write" which does 
up_write(mmap_sem) so there's an imbalance. One path seems to go via 
both up_read() and up_write(). I can imagine this can cause a stuck 
down_write() among other things?
