Hi Michal,

I haven't gone back to fully grok b17cb364dbbb ("xfs: fix missing
KM_NOFS tags to keep lockdep happy"), so I'm not really familiar with
the original problem. FWIW, there was another KM_NOFS instance added by
that commit in xlog_cil_prepare_log_vecs() that is now in
xlog_cil_alloc_shadow_bufs(). Perhaps Dave can confirm whether the
original issue still applies..?
