Looks like everything is hung up on the freelist lock. Can you
test the patch below?

xfs: fix dquot shaker deadlock

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>

Commit 368e136 ("xfs: remove duplicate code from dquot reclaim") fails
to unlock the dquot freelist when the number of loop restarts is
exceeded in xfs_qm_dqreclaim_one(). This causes hangs in memory
reclaim. Remove the bogus loop exit check that causes the problem.
