Seeing the same thing on a Dell Latitude E6500, so Jiri isn't hallucinating.

Didn't we have some flustercluck a while back that gave pulseaudio
similar indigestion?  Oh, here it is, it was an fsnotify botch, of all things.

commit 2069601b3f0ea38170d4b509b89f3ca0a373bdc1
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds at linux-foundation.org>
Date:   Thu Aug 12 14:23:04 2010 -0700

    Revert "fsnotify: store struct file not struct path"
    
    This reverts commit 3bcf3860a4ff9bbc522820b4b765e65e4deceb3e (and the
    accompanying commit c1e5c954020e "vfs/fsnotify: fsnotify_close can delay
    the final work in fput" that was a horribly ugly hack to make it work at
    all).


Did we manage to revert the revert, or re-break this code? I haven't looked at
this at all in detail.
