Somebody acquires the OOM wait reference to the memcg and marks it
under oom but then does not call into mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize() to
clean up. That's why under_oom is set and the rmdir waits for
outstanding references.

It's not a kernel thread that does it because all kernel-context
handle_mm_fault() are annotated properly, which means the task must be
userspace and, since tasks is empty, have exited before synchronizing.
Can you try with the following patch on top?
diff --git a/arch/x86/mm/fault.c b/arch/x86/mm/fault.c
