That's true, but there's nothing that points at XFS in *any* of the
bug reports. Indeed, log from the most recent report doesn't have
any of the output from the time stuff hung. i.e. the log starts
at kernel time 669.487771 seconds, and the hung task report is at:

684.588608][   T28] INFO: task syz-executor.0:19830 blocked for more than 143 seconds

About 25 seconds later. So the hung tasks were running at about
540s, and that's just not in the logs.

Every report has a different combination of filesystems being
exercised, and a couple of them didn't even have XFS in them.

So at this point, there is no single filesystem that the reports
actually indicate is the cause, the reports don't contain the actual
operations that hung, and there's basically nothing to go on so far.
Hence putting it in the "fs" bucket (which encompasses all things
filesystems!) is the rigth thing to do.

The only commonality I kinda see is that secondary processes that
are hung seem mostly to be in directory operations waiting on inode
locks - either lookup or readdir, so it's entirely possible that a
filesystem has screwed up ->iterate_shared locking in some way...

It already is (sysrq-t), but I'm not sure that will help - if it is
a leaked unlock then nothing will show up at all.
