Refer to my original email, where I was running multiple tests at once. 
This backtrace is from the tests which queue up:

  Call Trace:
  [<ffffffff81115edb>] ? mntput_no_expire+0x24/0xe7
  [<ffffffff81427acd>] __mutex_lock_common+0x14d/0x1b4
  [<ffffffff81108a7c>] ? path_put+0x1d/0x22
  [<ffffffff81427b48>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x14/0x16
  [<ffffffff81427c4f>] mutex_lock+0x31/0x4b
  [<ffffffff8110bdf8>] do_rmdir+0x74/0x102
  [<ffffffff8110bebd>] sys_rmdir+0x11/0x13
  [<ffffffff81009b02>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

The one which spins has already managed to claim the mutex lock on the 
/cgroup directory, and no call trace is shown for this. Is there a usable 
way to force a similar call trace for the spinning process?

Unfortunately I have not been able to reproduce the problem for some days 
now, so I think some network factor is able to influence this.
