Looks like ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE may be too large for you. Lowering that some may "help" this. It's probably harmless, but try lowering that to half of whatever it is now, or maybe 64*PAGE_SIZE. It may be worthwhile to restructure how the preemption points are done in unmap_vmas() so we don't end up in some kind of tuning nightmare.
