I agree it's probably going to bisect to 338a16ba15495 since it's the 
cond_resched() at the line number reported, but I think there must be 
something else going on.  I think the list of locks held by khugepaged is 
correct because it matches with the implementation.  The preempt_count(), 
as suggested by Andrew, does not.  If this is reproducible, I'd like to 
know what preempt_count() is.
