other info that might help us debug this:
Chain exists of: &delayed_node->mutex --> &fs_info->chunk_mutex --> fs_reclaim
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(fs_reclaim); lock(&fs_info->chunk_mutex); lock(fs_reclaim); lock(&delayed_node->mutex);

This is because we're holding the chunk_mutex while adding this device and adding its sysfs entries. We actually hold different locks in different places when calling this function, the dev_replace semaphore for instance in dev replace, so instead of moving this call around simply wrap it's operations in NOFS.
