Still not a very good data point, but I ran a heavy swap load for an
hour or so without reproducing this. But, it happened again after I
enabled transparent huge pages. I managed to get a sysrq-t dump out of

khugepaged is one of the three running tasks. Note, I set both its
sleep timeouts to zero to stress it out a bit.
I'll keep trying to reproduce without THP.
