It was silly mistake in my patch and I suspect it fixes your issue
because I guess you already tried below patch when you compiled and saw
warning message.
Anyway, if you see hang still after applying below patch,
please enable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and retest, if you find something, report it.
I hope CONFIG_DEBUG_VM catch something.

Thanks.
