Never saw this one, which means I probably wasn't paying attention.
Found the original patch from 2016 and did a "patch -R": it applied
against 4.11.0-rc6 with a small bit of fuzz, but seems correct by
inspection.

Missed both the above.

Trying a 4.11.0-rc6 build with the "mm/compaction.c" revert in place.
May have to instrument "arch/alpha/kernel/module.c" to get a better
idea what's going on.
