I wonder if there were two separate problems here.  I looked into
this with some detail yesterday and agree with Johannes that the above 
trace is on locking the parent directory's i_mutex, but I too couldn't
see any problems with sta_info_debugfs_add_work.  Other stuff could also 
modify the directory with or without rtnl_lock, but not in a way that 
to my untrained eyes would lead to deadlock.

Or is the trace just wrong?
