I'd suggest restricting the bisect to fs/ first, and if that comes up
with something non-sensical, you can always use the good/bad data
points for a whole tree bisect.

One commit that you might want to try testing is b43d17f31^, and see
whether that works. One potential commit that might be suspicious is
b43d17f31 given the stack trace shows one process apparently waiting
on PageWriteback.
