other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &oi->ip_alloc_sem --> jbd2_handle --> &oi->ip_xattr_sem

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&oi->ip_xattr_sem);
                               lock(jbd2_handle);
                               lock(&oi->ip_xattr_sem);
  lock(&oi->ip_alloc_sem);
