  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

The panic did not occur on 4.11 but has occurred since 4.12-rc1. So I think the following
commit caused the issue.

  commit f2a6a7050109e0a5c7a84c70aa6010f682b2f1ee
  Author: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill.shutemov@...ux.intel.com>
  Date:   Fri Mar 17 21:55:15 2017 +0300

    x86: Convert the rest of the code to support p4d_t

As additional information, the issue does not occur if I just do memory hot-add.
But if I hot add the memory after hot removing a memory, the issue occurs 100%.

Thanks,
Yasuaki Ishimatsu
