Sure, almost same with the one in that changelog, this is why I
didn't provide it in my previous email. See the bottom of this email
for details.

Note, I am not entirely sure it is because OOM killer tried to kill
the one sleeping on inode mutex which caused the deadlock,
it may be because OOM killer failed to kill some frozen process
too as I saw many processes got frozen. If it is this case, we will
need my patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/4/646.

But anyway, that commit definitely fixes some real soft lockups,
which could be a stable candidate although it is a large one.
I am willing to help if needed.

Thanks!
