So my current suggestion on this is to understand why __reclaim_stacks
is not starting with a lll_unlock before the list_for_each runs, I'll
look into this next week if nobody explained it yet ;). Statistically
speaking it's more likely to be the kernel patch to be buggy and this
is likely a faulty theory I know, but it's not impossible that this is
an unrelated bug that was hidden as it required userland
list_del/add/splice to race against the kernel ptep_set_wrprotect
single instruction.
