--- Comment #4 from Paolo Bonzini (bonzini@gnu.org) ---
That patch won't work, most APFs have a node that comes from the stack.  The
issue must be arising when you enter this branch of kvm_async_pf_task_wake:

                /*
                 * async PF was not yet handled.
                 * Add dummy entry for the token.
                 */
                n = kzalloc(sizeof(*n), GFP_ATOMIC);

but it should be handled here in kvm_async_pf_task_wait:

        if (e) {
                /* dummy entry exist -> wake up was delivered ahead of PF */
                hlist_del(&e->link);
                raw_spin_unlock(&b->lock);
                kfree(e);
                return false;
        }
