There is "kvm: async_pf: fix rcu_irq_enter() with irqs enabled", but it
would have caused splats, not deadlocks.

If you are using nested virtualization, "KVM: async_pf: avoid async pf
injection when in guest mode" can be a wildcard, but only if you have
memory pressure.

My bet is still on the former changing the timing just a little bit.
