The XFS tests just tripped up a panic in raid5 in -test11 -- a kdb
stacktrace follows.  Seems to be reproducible, but not always the
same test that causes it.  And I haven't seen a double bio_put yet,
this first problem keeps getting in the way I guess.

Looks like its in a raid5 kernel thread, doing asynchronous stuff?,
so I don't really have any extra hints about what XFS was doing at
the time for y'all either.

cheers.
