I've tried reproducing this (both with NFSv3 and NFSv4) and failed. Also I
have looked through the code and I fail to see how this could happen. Is
this the only NFS mount that you have on your system? Didn't also the
WARN_ON in super_setup_bdi_name() trigger?

Can you run with the attached debug patch and post full dmesg after the
failure?
