Off the top my head, I can't think of any recent locking changes
that could have this effect.  That aside, the lock order below is the
one that I would describe as correct, or at least expected.  Can you
hardwire this ordering into witness and see where it is being
violated.  I hypothesize that it is startup_alloc().
