um, quite.. tbf that was in the context of a WIP igt test for
shrinker which was trying to cycle thru ~2x RAM size worth of GEM
buffers on something like 72 threads. So it could just be threads
that had gotten past the dma_debug_disabled() check already before
global_disable was set to true?

I guess this could be pr_err_once() instead, then?
