Your dmesg snippets had ext3 mentioned, though:

  <6>EXT3-fs (sda1): recovery required on readonly filesystem
  <6>EXT3-fs (sda1): write access will be enabled during recovery
  <6>EXT3-fs: barriers not enabled
  ..
  <6>EXT3-fs (sda1): recovery complete
  <6>EXT3-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
  <6>dracut: Mounted root filesystem /dev/sda1

not that I see that it should matter, but there's been some bigger
ext3 changes too (like the batched discard).

I don't really think ext3 is the issue, though.

I was about to say this happens with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC enabled but it
appears that options keeps eluding my fingers when I have a few minutes
to play with it.  Perhaps this time will be the charm.

Please do. You seem to be much better at triggering it than anybody
else. And do the DEBUG_LIST and DEBUG_SLUB_ON things too (even if the
DEBUG_LIST thing won't catch list_move())
