It turns out it's not the same issue, we just managed to hit it at the
same time as the original issue.

It's actually a bug in the STRICT_KERNEL_RWX=y code on ppc64le with
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE=n that manifests as corrupting random kernel memory
and we just happen to hit it in this codepath and only once we brought
in "Revert v5.0 blk_mq_request_issue_directly".

More details over at https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/237 and
there should be a fix for STRICT_KERNEL_RWX coming at some point.
