Still not a very good data point, but I ran a heavy swap load for an
hour or so without reproducing this.  But, it happened again after I
enabled transparent huge pages.  I managed to get a sysrq-t dump out of
it:

khugepaged is one of the three running tasks.  Note, I set both its
sleep timeouts to zero to stress it out a bit.
sysrq+l? sysrq+t doesn't provide interesting info for running tasks.
I'll keep trying to reproduce without THP.
BTW, do you have prove locking enabled? With recent git I get a
deadlock inside _raw_spin_unlock_irq with prove locking enabled and it
goes away when I disable it.
