rmdir/13321 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&sess->cmdsn_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa02cb47d>] iscsit_free_all_ooo_cmdsns+0x2d/0xb0 [iscsi_target_mod]

but task is already holding lock:
 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#14){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff811c6e20>] vfs_rmdir+0x50/0x140

which lock already depends on the new lock.
