OK, so I reverted 
gregkh-driver-kset-convert-block_subsys-to-use-kset_create (which made me 
also revert gregkh-driver-kobject-remove-subsystem_register-functions and 
gregkh-driver-kset-remove-decl_subsys-macro so that we compile). Both the 
error message from lockdep and more importantly the spinlock lockup have 
gone, and the system with these patches reverted boots for me fine.

Well not that fine, I still see (which is the same backtrace that caused 
the lockup with plain -rc2-mm1, but doesn't make the machine hang):
