CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y still breaks.  I suspect that sync_filesystem
has some blocking behavior that allows other processes to schedule.

Another log is attached and the patch I used to create this log is
below.  I think the most interesting part of this patch is the last hunk
that modifies ubifs_remount_ro.  This clearly shows that after the mount
has been marked as read-only we have dirty inodes waiting for the
writeback to come in and hit all the asserts.

Here's some of the important parts of the log:

  170 pre sync_filesystem
# Notice that while we were running sync_filesystem
# a inode (0xd75ab658) snuck in with a sys_rename
  204 inode: d75ab658
