Processes keep getting stuck in btrfs_evict_inode during unlink.

I've seen this dozens of times, usually when two subvols on a btrfs filesystem are active at the same time (i.e. it never happens on single-subvol filesystems). It happens on kernel versions v3.15..v3.18.3.

This used to happen with SyS_renameat2 on the stack, but I haven't seen a stack trace including that function since late November (v3.18-rc6).
