doesn't bug 6915521 mean this arrangement puts you at risk of deadlock?

Yes that risk is there.

I would highly recommend against using a ZVOL as a cache device for another pool because of this bug and also because it may actually hurt performance instead of helping it. It is actually pretty hard to work out exactly how a ZVOL will act as an L2ARC cache device for another pool.
