As a sidenode I've tried to figure out the minimal patch it takes to trigger the
crash. The first commit that triggers the bug is f8d112a4e657 ("mm/mmap: avoid
zeroing vma tree in mmap_region()") so I split this commit into two parts, the
first part gives a working kernel while the second part gives the bug.
First part (to be applied on top of commit 94f59ea591f
("mm: clean up unmap_region() argument list") in linux-next):
From efdd914b012b35d34d1cae469f199023e82f7a15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Bert Karwatzki <spasswolf@xxxxxx>

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm: mmap: Prepare to avoid zeroing vma tree in
mmap_region()
In an attempt to create a minimal patch to trigger the mapletree
bug apply parts of patch [v8 14/21] which still give a working kernel.

So the moving vms_complete_munmap_vmas() to the end of mmap_region seems
to be problematic.
