This sort of thing is caused by acquiring the same lock with softirq

There was such a bug in the RCU lockdep stuff in -tip, but it has long
since been fixed.  If you were seeing that bug, rcu_do_batch() would
be on the stack, which it does not appear to be.

So does your patch involve the usbfs_mutex?  Or attempt to manipulate
vfs/fs state from withing networking softirq/BH context?
