I suspect it's the lock_page_memcg() in page_remove_rmap(). We already
needed it for shared mappings, and this patch added it to private path
as well, which this test exercises.

The slowpath for this lock is extremely cold - most of the time it's
just an rcu_read_lock(). But we're still doing the function call.

Could you try if this patch helps, please?
