No, I've never seen the original problem in my upstream kernel testings.
Perhaps that's because I didn't run tests on debug kernels. But I didn't
see it in RHEL7 debug kernel testings either.

I've seen just the assert failures in the same fsstress testing on ppc64
host (no lock warnings in the beginning). Will see if it's still
reproducible on stock kernel.
