The warnings look like i386, exactly what hardware is this?  Is your
kernel compiled for SMP or UP?

The warning you're getting is that clean_tree_block expects this block
to be locked, and giving out a warning because it is showing up as
unlocked.

So, hopefully you're on a UP kernel and my test for a locked spinlock is
broken in that config.
