This happened before:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/67d04360.050a0220.1939a6.000e.GAE@google.com/T/
and now 2 more times.
All reports look similar: exit_mm -> zap_p4d_range
And all access addresses look the same: top 13 bits are zeros, then
some garbage (0007fffffffffffc).
I am pretty sure it's telling us something, some kind of tricky race,
rather than a previous corruption. Swp entry is somehow invalid?
