Looks more correct than the code it replaces :)

Why do you need a mutex and a spinlock ? Also the mutex is not
referenced.

What's the calling context ? Do we really need a spinlock here for
walking the rb tree ?

Please move the __iget() after the kzalloc()

Please init stuff _before_ inserting not afterwards.

  pointless return

I'd prefer a comment about the return code over this redundant
information.
