kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:2613!

Hi!

I was consistently hitting a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() in split_huge_page_to_list()
when running vanilla 5.8-rc1 on my desktop. It was happening on every boot
during the system start. I haven't seen this issue on 5.7.

It looks like split_huge_page() expects the page to be locked,
but it hasn't been changed from 5.7. I do not see any suspicious
commits around the call side either.

I've tried the following patch:

Subject: [PATCH] iommu/dma: lock page before calling split_huge_page()

split_huge_page() expects a locked page. The following stacktrace
is generated if debug is on. Fix this by locking the page before
passing it to split_huge_page().

But applying it made the kernel panic somewhere else:

Any ideas? Is it a known issue?
It might be that some changes revealed one or more old bugs.

Does the proposed patch look sane?

Thanks!
