In remove_watch_from_object(), you moved post_one_notification() before
lock_queue(), but it's still called inside a RCU read-side critical
section, which cannot sleep.

Please test with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP before you send a new version.
You should probably turn on DEBUG_SPINLOCK, LOCKDEP, DEBUG_MUTEXES
and a few other debug options.
