So this is probably just the intrinsic slowness of kmemcheck that
causes the the big delays and RCU stalls. It shouldn't cause any other
badness, as far as I understood, the 10000 jiffies limit is just a
heuristic. Maybe we need to adjust it when kmemcheck is enabled.

I'm more confused about the change you had to with
irqs_disabled()/in_atomic_preempt_off().
