I'm still waiting on a similar system to become available, so I can
work on your reproducer case, as well as to dig and wrap my head around it.

I still don't think that skipping the pmd_none() in the change-protection walk
should cause a big fuss like you observed here (yet, it seems it does), and
the fact that we need that race window to take the __split_huge_pmd() suggests,
at least to me, that we might be missing this proper split somewhere else.
