I found that one, too, in the meantime.  Currently debugging that with
tglx on irc.
The last finding is that parent and dentry in
nameidata_dentry_drop_rcu() are the same, which explains the lock
recursion nicely. 

@nick: Anything you want us to add to the debugging ?

@peterz: Why does lockdep ignore the lock recursion in that
	 spin_lock_nested() call?

Thanks,
