The kernel installs and boots fine on the QDF2400 platform.

The testcase needs hwpoison-inject module to run. But it is not enabled in the Configs by default.

$ sudo ./run_hugepage_overcommit.sh
sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/vm/memory_failure_early_kill: No such file or directory
modprobe: FATAL: Module hwpoison-inject not found in directory /lib/modules/4.10.0-28-generic
DIE: Failed to load hwpoison-inject module. Abort.
DIE: Failed to load hwpoison-inject module. Abort.

I can confirm that rebuilding the kernel with the hwpoison-inject module, and running the test, the kernel does not get soft-lockups and test works as expected.
