other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  sb_internal#2 --> &oi->ip_xattr_sem --> &ocfs2_file_ip_alloc_sem_key

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&ocfs2_file_ip_alloc_sem_key);
                               lock(&oi->ip_xattr_sem);
                               lock(&ocfs2_file_ip_alloc_sem_key);
  rlock(sb_internal#2);
