I still have no useful reaction to this. According to Christoph Hellwig,
this lockup has been appearing since lockdep was introduced but for some
reason is easier to trigger now. It bisected to the two-zonelist changes
but it still looks like a red herring as I cannot see how reclaim has
changed significantly as a result of that patch.
