At first sight, looks unrelated. Being stuck in clear_page() is weird; 
we're running inside a VM ("dummy-virt"), whereby such stuck tasks in 
the guests are sometimes the result of the hypervisor being stuck (e.g., 
heavily overcommitted).

If we don't get a reproducer, that's most probably the root cause. Let's 
see.
