other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &new->rf_sem --> &osb->system_file_mutex --> &ocfs2_file_ip_alloc_sem_key

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&ocfs2_file_ip_alloc_sem_key);
                               lock(&osb->system_file_mutex);
                               lock(&ocfs2_file_ip_alloc_sem_key);
