I just tried to to a bytewise copy in C rather than call
memcpy, and I got the fault to trigger. So I guess I was on
the wrong track assuming __memcpy would be the culprit.
What is odd is that if I issue vmalloc_sync_all() after each
vmalloc call, the OOPS never triggers. It is clearly a test
case that ends up stressing vfree/vmalloc.
