I do not have an explanation why it would cause oom sooner but this
turned out to be incomplete. There is another wmaark check deeper in the
compaction path. Could you try the one from
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160302130022.GG26686@dhcp22.suse.cz

I will try to find a machine with more CPUs and try to reproduce this in
the mean time.

I will also have a look at the data you have collected.
