Strange lockdep didn't complaint this for me.. I had lockdep enabled in
my config.

Can we re-arrange these patches please?
Let's bring the error handling fix first (I think i.e. patch-6 in this
series) so that, s_umount lock also gets unlocked properly from the
error handling paths as well.
With that, I agree releasing the s_umount lock is the right thing to do
here which is taken in:
sget()
alloc_super()
down_write_nested(&s->s_umount, SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING);
So feel free to add:
