Thanks a lot for the report! I managed track it down based on your
output, it turns out that I end up copying data from the stack according
to how much the user asked for, and in this case that was much more
than the 8 byte nodemask_t, copying all of the kernel stack all the
way into the guard page with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK, where it
crashed. Without CONFIG_VMAP_STACK, or with user space that
asks for less data, it would just be an information leak, so others
probably haven't noticed the problem.

The change below should fix that, I'll double-check the other callers
as well before sending a proper fixup patch to Andrew.
