this call_for_each_cic/radix_tree_gang_lookup locked up, and all other
CPUs deadlocked in stopmachine, due to this one.
call_for_each_cic is in ./block/cfq-iosched.c uses RCU, but you've got
classic-RCU:
CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU=y
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU is not set
so it's not related to the preempt-RCU changes either.
It is this part that locks up:
do {
...
nr = radix_tree_gang_lookup(ioc-radix_root, (void **) cics,
index, CIC_GANG_NR);
...
} while (nr == CIC_GANG_NR);
...
it seems the radix tree will yield new entries again and again. Either
it got corrupted, or some other CPU is filling it faster than we can
deplete it [unlikely i think].

This softlockup is seen with the 2.6.25-rc1-git3 also. Let me know if you
need more details.
