There isn't a deadlock between inode locks on different filesystems. i.e. there is no dependency between shmem inodes and xfs inodes, nor on their security contexts. Nor can you take a page fault on a directory inode, which is the XFS inode lock class it's complaining about. Fundamentally, the problem here is shmem instantiating a new inode with the mmap_sem held. That's just plain wrong...
