drm_gem_shmem_fault() does not seem to check for purged objects at all.

No idea how this works, or if it ever worked, but yeah something is
clearly still busted.

Definitely a good idae to have an igt. btw to make that faster you can
either use the vm_drop_caches file from proc (it's a bit a hammer), or
what I recommend: Have a dedicated debugfs file to only drop
everything from your shrinker. That's much quicker and  controlled.
See e.g. ttm_tt_debugfs_shrink from d4bd7776a7ac ("drm/ttm: rework
ttm_tt page limit v4") which recently landed in drm-misc-next.
