Any chance you can test w/o LUKS to see how that affects things?

If I had to guess I'd say things are stuck behind here:

[  554.110652] flush-252:1   D ffff880001e14cc0     0  2186      2 0x00000000
[  554.110679] Call Trace:
[  554.110686]  [<ffffffff81586503>] io_schedule+0x73/0xc0
[  554.110692]  [<ffffffff81180ab5>] sync_buffer+0x45/0x50
[  554.110714]  [<ffffffff81586e8d>] out_of_line_wait_on_bit+0x7d/0x90

[  554.110732]  [<ffffffff81217199>] ext4_mb_init_cache+0x389/0x900

I guess ext4_mb_init_cache() is in:

        /* wait for I/O completion */
        for (i = 0; i < groups_per_page && bh[i]; i++)
                wait_on_buffer(bh[i]);
