vfs_stall() needs to grab locks on all filesystems, to stop a variety of filesystem transactions. (Other types of transactions are blocked in other ways). sys_umount() grabs locks on all filesystems above it, to stop anyone from doing a parallel mount/unmount along the same path. This is all normal.
