  Ah, I believe this is:
WARN_ON(!mutex_is_locked(&inode->i_mutex));
  because XFS doesn't use i_mutex but its private rwlock. I forgot to check
dmesg after running xfstests for XFS and didn't notice this. Anyway, the
solution is to just remove the assertion since it doesn't hold for all
filesystems. Patch for that is attached. Thanks Fengguang for catching
this.
