I'd suspect that's just gunk on the stack and that zap_pte_range() freed an
anonymous page which had a non-null ->mapping. It could be a hardware bug.
Without seeing the actual value of page->mapping it's hard to know.
It would be good to backport the bad_page() debug code so we get a bit more
info when this sort of thing happens.
