Chris pointed me at a pending patch that took care of this warning.

Which allowed me to run long enough to get this trace..
http://codemonkey.org.uk/junk/bad-page-state.txt

Does this shed any light ?
The interesting process here seems to be kworker/u8:17, and the trace
captures some of what that was doing before that bad page was hit.

I've got another run going now, so I'll compare that trace when it
happens to see if it matches my current theory that it's something to
do with that btrfs_scrubparity_helper. I've seen that show up in stack
traces a few times while chasing this.
