This looks like a problem with transparent huge pages & page migration. Have you tried to disable that?
# cat /sys/kernel/mm/redhat_transparent_hugepage/enabled
[always] never
# echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/redhat_transparent_hugepage/enabled

Lustre also does not handle page migration properly, that's why we fail all page migration attempt for now (see LU-130).
