other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  sb_internal --> &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#9 --> &sbi->s_writepages_rwsem

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&sbi->s_writepages_rwsem);
                               lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#9);
                               lock(&sbi->s_writepages_rwsem);
  lock(sb_internal);
