other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &iint_mutex_key[depth] --> &p->frag_sem --> &common->filesem

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&common->filesem);

                               lock(&common->filesem);
  lock(&iint_mutex_key[depth]);
