Hi, I've tested if this closes the race I've been previously trying to fix
with the series in http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=139359694028925&w=2
And indeed with this patch I wasn't able to reproduce it in my stress test
(which adds lots of memory isolation calls) anymore. So thanks to Mel I can
dump my series in the trashcan :P

Therefore I believe something like below should be added to the changelog,
and put to stable as well.
OK, I made it so.

Thanks.

Miraculously, the patch applies OK to 3.14.  And it compiles!

Great, shipping time!
