Appears to be different, yet somehow very familiar.

I suppose you run with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM...

So we have

port->lock -> MM -> zone->lock
// from pty_write()->__tty_buffer_request_room()->kmalloc()

vs

zone->lock -> printk() -> port->lock
// from __offline_pages()->__offline_isolated_pages()->printk()

A number of debugging options make the kernel less stable.
Sad but true.
