other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &ocfs2_sysfile_lock_key[args->fi_sysfile_type]#2 --> &ocfs2_quota_ip_alloc_sem_key --> &ocfs2_sysfile_lock_key[args->fi_sysfile_type]

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&ocfs2_sysfile_lock_key[args->fi_sysfile_type]);
                               lock(&ocfs2_quota_ip_alloc_sem_key);
                               lock(&ocfs2_sysfile_lock_key[args->fi_sysfile_type]);
  lock(&ocfs2_sysfile_lock_key[args->fi_sysfile_type]#2);
