The full conversion series introduced assertion failures because lockdep
can't handle some of the ILOCK usage patterns, specifically the fact
that a thread sometimes takes the ILOCK but then hands the inode to a
workqueue to avoid overflowing the first thread's stack.  That's why it
never got merged into the xfs tree.

However, that kind of switcheroo isn't done with the
MMAPLOCK/invalidate_lock, so you could simply pull the patch I linked
above into your series.
