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].
