other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &ocfs2_sysfile_lock_key[LOCAL_ALLOC_SYSTEM_INODE] --> &journal->j_trans_barrier --> &oi->ip_xattr_sem

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&oi->ip_xattr_sem);
