You haven't actually seen a bug, have you?  You just read the code
wrongly.

void *__xa_store(struct xarray *xa, unsigned long index, void *entry, gfp_t gfp)
...
        } while (__xas_nomem(&xas, gfp));
...
        if (gfpflags_allow_blocking(gfp)) {
                xas_unlock_type(xas, lock_type);
                xas->xa_alloc = kmem_cache_alloc(radix_tree_node_cachep, gfp);
                xas_lock_type(xas, lock_type);
