Nope, we can't perform a GFP_KERNEL allocation under write_lock().
Was this code path runtime tested? If no, please try
to find a way to test it. If yes, please see
Documentation/SubmitChecklist section 12 and use that in the future.
I'll switch it to GFP_ATOMIC. Which is horridly lame but the
allocation is small and alternatives are unobvious.
