I'm configuring the kernels myself. Two things that I always enable and that
_might_ be related are:

CONFIG_BLK_WBT / CONFIG_BLK_WBT_MQ
and
CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED

Maybe I can come up with a way to reproduce this bug more quickly. Writing a
lot of (small) files and then deleting them seems like a good way so far.
