I strongly suggest to include "locking/rt-mutex: fix deadlock in device
mapper / block-IO". We had a workaround in the jbd/ext3 code which then
moved into jbd2/ext4 after people complained about the same problem. I
wasn't sure about the root-cause back then but now with explanation we
have in the fix patch I'm sure this is one of the bugs we have since day
one.
