I have a potential workaround, please disable:

  CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG

does it get you below the limit? Here it gives:

 lock-classes:                          549 [max: 8191]
 direct dependencies:                  3288 [max: 16384]
 indirect dependencies:                6753
 all direct dependencies:             49282
 dependency chains:                    3384 [max: 32768]
 dependency chain hlocks:              9901 [max: 163840]
 in-hardirq chains:                      21
 in-softirq chains:                     243
 in-process chains:                    3120
 stack-trace entries:                 81205 [max: 262144]
 combined max dependencies:        16753528

We are now well below the limit for stack-trace entries.

This is something we noticed recently: dma-debug uses a lot of lock 
classes and thus creates a really large lock-graph, depleting the 
reserves quickly.
