Right. I'm uncertain if this is so bad to require -stable I think, if it was more urgent I would have submitted already separately but it's true it's not THP specific.
It's only fatal for cloud computing, where the manager has to decide to migrate more VM to one node, but it won't if it sees tons of swap used and it will think there's not enough margin for KSM cows until the VM is migrated back to another node.
