Not sure if this is helpful, but after looking into the code, the
above stacktrace looks somewhat damaged.
Might be my fault: # CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not set
On the other hand the stacktrace from the run with the SLUB lockdep
fix shows the same function names.

That trace contains this line:
 [<ffffffff8030167e>] nfs_free_unlinkdata+0x1e/0x50
(gdb) list *0xffffffff8030167e
0xffffffff8030167e is in nfs_free_unlinkdata (fs/nfs/unlink.c:33).
28       */
29      static void
30      nfs_free_unlinkdata(struct nfs_unlinkdata *data)
31      {
32              nfs_sb_deactive(NFS_SERVER(data->dir));
33              iput(data->dir);
34              put_rpccred(data->cred);
35              kfree(data->args.name.name);
36              kfree(data);
37      }

Is some inode lock guilty?
Please ask, if you need more information.
