Panic observed on an older kernel when collecting call chains for the context-switch software event:

A page fault occurred walking the callchain while creating a perf sample for the context-switch event. To handle the page fault the mmap_sem is needed, but it is currently held by setup_arg_pages. (setup_arg_pages calls shift_arg_pages with the mmap_sem held. shift_arg_pages then calls move_page_tables which has a cond_resched at the top of its for loop - hitting that cond_resched is what caused the context switch.)
This is an extension of Anton's proposed patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/24/151 adding case for 32-bit ppc.
Tested on the system that first generated the panic and then again with latest kernel using a PPC VM. I am not able to test the 64-bit path - I do not have H/W for it and 64-bit PPC VMs (qemu on Intel) is horribly slow.
