And this is the weird part, which means lockdep get turned off silently.
That probably means there is a bug (either in fs code or lockdep) that
we don't know, and my previous "fix" although works as per your testing,
but it may hide the real problem...
So I just send out another fix, which is similar to my previous one, but
leave a warning so that once we hit the problem we can be warned and not
miss the silent lockdep turn-off.
