That's weird, it's easily reproduced for me on different hosts/guests.
The kernel config I'm using is based on the config from RHEL7.2 kernel,
leaving all new config options to their default choices. i.e

cp /boot/<config-rhel7.2> ./.config && yes "" | make oldconfig && make

I attached my kernel config file.

And my test vm has 8G memory & 4 vcpus, with RHEL7.2 installed running
upstream kernel, host is RHEL6.7. xfsprogs version 3.2.2 (shipped with
RHEL7.2) and version 4.5.0 (compiled from upstream) made no difference.

I think I can try configs from other venders such as SuSE, Ubuntu. If
you can share your config file I'll test it as well.

Thanks,
Eryu
