Ignoring the STAGING issue I've tried to use the same guideline as for
-stable for -rc .. 

So this is a real problem, we definitely hit the locking bugs if we
retry/etc under stress, so I would be OK to send it to Linus for
early-rc.

However, it doesn't look like the 1st patch is fixing a current bug
though, the only callers uses blocking = true, so just the middle
three are -rc?

Thanks,
Jason
