I applied this patch applied to Ubuntu Zesty (4.10) kernel and tested on 
QDF2400 platform with mce-test without config migration enabled.

== dmesg ==
[   91.569358] Soft offlining page 0x1763c00 at 0x400000000000
[   91.569364] soft offline: 0x1763c00: migration failed 1, type 
100000000008008
[  150.282911] Soft offlining page 0x1763c00 at 0x400000000000
[  150.282917] soft offline: 0x1763c00: migration failed 1, type 
100000000008008

The mce-test failed as expected but did not encounter the soft lockups. 
(The test case might have an error it is missing an 'echo' in failure 
case.)

$ sudo ./run_hugepage_overcommit.sh

***************************************************************************
Pay attention:

This test checks that hugepage soft-offlining works under overcommitting.
***************************************************************************


-------------------------------------
TestCase ./thugetlb_overcommit 1
FAIL: migration failed.
Unpoisoning.

 	Num of Executed Test Case: 1	Num of Failed Case: 1
