Crashes in 3.14.13+ related to anon_vma_clone.

A few of our systems are repeatedly crashing when upgraded from
the 3.14.6+ to 3.14.13+ kernels. Both kernels have a fair bit
of our out-of-tree patches, so could be our fault.

But, in case this is a known problem...has anyone seen crashes like
this below?

Test case is using some ath9k APs and stations, but not certain
that has much to do with the problem.
