This patch has been merged some time ago to linux-next as commit
9bdfeea46f49 ("mm/khugepaged: convert release_pte_pages() to use
folios"). It took me a while to bisect this (mainly because I was busy
with other things), but I finally found that this change is responsible
for the following kernel panic:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffffc0000000008

Reverting it on top of recent linux-next fixes the issue, so it looks
that some kind of a corner case is missing in this patch. I can
reproduce it usually during the system shutdown, 1 of 20 times on the
average.
