Frederic has posted the patch below to lkml - does it do the trick for you?

Subject: [PATCH] reiserfs: Fix reiserfs lock <-> inode mutex dependency inversion

The reiserfs lock -> inode mutex dependency gets inverted when we
relax the lock while walking to the tree.

To fix this, use a specialized version of reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe
that takes care of mutex subclasses. Then we can grab the inode
mutex with I_MUTEX_XATTR subclass without any reiserfs lock
dependency.

This fixes the following report:

[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.32-06793-gf405425-dirty #2
-------------------------------------------------------
mv/18566 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<c1110708>] reiserfs_write_lock+0x28=

but task is already holding lock:
 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#5/3){+.+.+.}, at: [<c111033c>]
reiserfs_for_each_xattr+0x10c/0x380

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
