Do I don't.  I had looked through them and while they did seem to be
addressing similar sorts of races, nothing seems like an obvious match.
I haven't been able to reproduce the BUG_ON myself.  I only have a report
of it repeatedly affecting someone else:

  https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=908706

I'll probably have to be happy with fixing usage on btrfs, and hope the other
bug is fixed already or doesn't become a problem.
