Er...  After another look, probably not - it's ->s_vfs_rename_mutex,
so we are seeing one cross-directory rename stuck on something with
all subsequent ones blocked on attempt to grab said mutex.

The interesting one is the guy stuck at lock_rename+0xc9/0xf0, everything
else in lock_rename() is the consequence.
