What's going on is that your file system is corrupted;
ext4_mb_generate_buddy() noticed that the number of free blocks as
claimed by the block group descriptors doesn't match with with the
number of free blocks as found in the allocation bitmap.  It calls
ext4_grp_locked_error() as a result, and in ext4_commit_super(), the
commit 4743f8399061: "ext4: Fix WARN_ON_ONCE in ext4_commit_super()"
we started taking a lock even when ext4_commit_super() is called with
sync == 0, which causes the lockdep complaint.

Thanks for reporting the problem.  I'll get a fix for 4.9, but note
that if you're seeing it a lot, you may want to take a look at when
your file system is getting corrupted when you run under KVM.  Perhaps
the writeback / caching policy which you're using is dangerous?
