OK...

Aha... It's load_unaligned_zeropad() from dentry_string_cmp(), hitting
a genuinely unmapped address. That sends it into fixup, where it tries to
load an aligned word containing the address in question, in hope that
fault was on attempt to cross into the next page. No such luck, address
was aligned in the first place (it's in %rdx - 0xffff880113f82000), so
we still oops.

The unexpected part is that unmapped address did *NOT* come from a dentry;
it's .name of qstr we were looking for. And your call chain was
__d_lookup() <- d_lookup() <- lookup_open(), so in lookup_open() it was
nd->last.name...

Can the same thing be reproduced (with NFS fix) on v4.6, ede4090, 7f427d3,
4e8440b?
