LIN6-8005 : "BUG: Bad rss-counter" message displayed when application exits upon target shutdown

Description

When customer application exits as the system is being shut down, the following message appears:

[ 1328.365069] BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88017f62c040 idx:0 val:344

The index comes from the following enum:

enum {
        MM_FILEPAGES,
        MM_ANONPAGES,
        MM_SWAPENTS,
        NR_MM_COUNTERS
}

So it seems some file pages have not gotten released as the application's process exits?

This is only happening on our slower platform:
This platform is using the "Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU  C2358  @ 1.74GHz" processor.

Steps to Reproduce

***Only reproduced on customer side***
1. shutdown the target with customer application running 
2. below message is displayed while the application exit :
