This looks like random corruption again. It's probably a bogus 'struct
page' that fails the move_freepages() pfn_valid() checks. I'm too lazy
to go reproduce the likely stack trace (not sure why it didn't show up
on your screen), but this could just be another symptom of the same
issue that caused the TLB batching oops.

My money is on this being some kind of odd stack corruption, maybe
interrupt-induced, but that's a total guess at this point.
