Thanks for the investigation! Based on your test results as well as on
results by Edward Adam Davis <eadavis@qq.com> I'd say syzbot has created a
cycle in the quota tree or something like that. Sadly the fs image provided
by syzbot is corrupted to the extent that e2fsprogs refuse to touch it so
I'll have to check manually why the kernel is mounting this image or what's
going on with the reproducer...
