Subject: Circular locking bug found in xfstests

I found this while testing 3.5-rc1 with a two ext4 bug fix patches
(b22b1f178f from the ext4 tree) that will be shortly pushed to Linus.

The two bug fixes are unrelated to the quota system; and I don't recall
seeing anything like this when I was testing 3.4-rcX based kernels.  I
could try bisecting it, but I thought I'd ask if you could see something
obvious.

Cheers,

						- Ted
