The cause of this is the new code that spurs a scan to garbage collect
speculative preallocations if we fail to reserve enough blocks while
allocating a transaction.  While the warning itself is a fairly benign
lockdep complaint, it does expose a potential livelock if the rwsem
behavior ever changes with regards to nesting read locks when someone's
waiting for a write lock.

Fix this by freeing the transaction and jumping back to xfs_trans_alloc
like this patch in the V4 submission[1].
