I tried this on top of 4.19.14 (together with "x86/mm: Fix guard hole
handling", which still doesn't seem to be in 4.19) and I can confirm the
fix:

Using a PV domU,

4.19 without patch:

[  646.199018] Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.002 seconds)
done.
[  646.201305] OOM killer disabled.
[  646.201311] Freezing remaining freezable tasks ... (elapsed 0.001
seconds) done.
[  646.202699] suspending xenstore...
[  646.203005] xen:grant_table: Grant tables using version 1 layout
[18446200797.089367] OOM killer enabled.
[18446200797.089382] Restarting tasks ... done.


4.19 with patch, doing live migration movement between exactly the same
set of physical servers:

[   74.878062] Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.002 seconds)
done.
[   74.880308] OOM killer disabled.
