Subject: [3.11-rc1 regression] ext4_evict_inode triggers warn_slowpath_common on sparc64

I keep getting the following warning with 3.11-rc1 on sparc64:

------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 8174 at fs/ext4/inode.c:230 ext4_evict_inode+0x1f0/0x448()

---[ end trace cd72b9e3e68d89e4 ]---

The Comm varies, but the call trace always looks like that.  Happens a couple
of times per day, so far.  No other ill effects observed.  Didn't happen in 3.10
or older kernels.
