Did you also do a mount operation shortly afterwards?  It looks like 4
seconds after the unmount completed, it was a mount operation that
caused the warning.

The EXT4-fs: mballoc: is the last line you would normally expect to
see when unmounting the filesystem.  And the warning took place 4
seconds later, which is a eternity as far as kernel-time is
considered.

Also, look at the bottom of the call trace:

Looks like this was some kind of "interesting" set of mount options
passed to the kernel.  Any chance you could figure out what the mount
options were to the mount operation?
