rawlock points to ...968 and the node_list to ...970.

struct rt_mutex {
        raw_spinlock_t          wait_lock;
        struct plist_head       wait_list;

The raw_lock pointer of the plist_head is initialized in
__rt_mutex_init() so it points to wait_lock. 

Can you check the offset of wait_list vs. the rt_mutex itself?

I wouldn't be surprised if it's exactly 8 bytes. And then this thing
looks like a copied lock with stale pointers to hell. Eew.

crash> struct rt_mutex -o
struct rt_mutex {
   [0] raw_spinlock_t wait_lock;
   [8] struct plist_head wait_list;

Bingo, that makes it more likely that this is caused by copying w/o
initializing the lock and then freeing the original structure.

A quick check for memcpy finds that __btrfs_close_devices() does a
memcpy of btrfs_device structs w/o initializing the lock in the new
copy, but I have no idea whether that's the place we are looking for.

Thanks,
