Nit: someone who is reading this changelog a year from now will be
quite confused - how do they work out what the race was?

I'll add

: See "thp: fix MADV_DONTNEED vs. numa balancing race" for more details.

to the changelogs to help them a bit.

Also, it wasn't a great idea to start this series with a "Restructure
code in preparation for a fix".  If people later start hitting this
race, the fixes will be difficult to backport.  I'm OK with taking that
risk, but please do bear this in mind in the future.
