cc1/2771 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE0:SE1] is trying to acquire:

The soft limit tree lock needs to be IRQ-safe as it's acquired while
holding the IRQ-safe zone->lru_lock.

But more importantly, with uncharge happening in release_pages() now,
this path is executed from interrupt context.

Make the soft limit tree lock, uncharge batching, and charge
statistics IRQ-safe.
