I was always of an opinion that waiting for the ARC reclaim in arc_lowmem was 
wrong.  This shows an example of why it is so.

To me it looks like there is still plenty of free memory.

I am not sure why vm_wait_domain (called by vm_page_alloc_noobj_domain) is not 
waking up.
Perhaps this is some sort of a NUMA related issue where one memory domain is 
exhausted while other(s) still have  a lot of memory.
Or maybe it's something else but it must be some sort of a bug.
