FYI, this looks very much the same like the Bug Daniel reported, which
I tried to help debugging in person over the weekend.  His backtrace
points to cancelling a dirty transaction after xfs_dir_replace failed,
which most likely comes from the failing lookup, except that he probably
doen't have XFS_DEBUG enabled.

Given that 4.7-rc1 comes with the new shared locks for lookups, and
there are very little other changes I wonder if there is any relation
It would be good if Reinoud and/or Daniel can confirm that Linux 4.6
is ok.
