I built a 16.04(4.4 based kenrel) with the requested patch.

The test kernel can be downloaded from:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1761674/xenial

Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug?

Note, to test this kernel, you need to install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

I also tried to apply this patch to the 4.13 based 17.10 Artful kernel. However, I'll have to perform allot of back porting for Artful. For example, the patch relies on _raw_compare_and_swap(). However, this function was removed in v4.12-rc1 by commit 02c503f. Can you confirm this patch is needed in Artful, and if you recommend any prereq patches?
