This build was of > 9e79e3e9dd9672b37ac9412e9a926714306551fe (slightly past 3.1-rc4). Got a few more identical Oopses on another box running slightly past 3.1-rc5 (79016f648872549392d232cd648bd02298c2d2bb). It seems to be do_rmdir()'s mutex_unlock() call. I'm building -rc6 with CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES now.
