I am sorry, I was on vacation and now catching up. So I will not get to
this anytime soon. Next week hopefully, but I cannot promise anything.

I am not sure page_owner will help us much here. We know this is a shmem
page. Pagelock tracking is quite a PITA so a bisection sounds like a
less PITA even though the reproduction might take quite a lot of time.
Another approach would be to reduce the problem space, e.g. rule out
zram by using a different swap storage.
