Essentially, you tried to do the write of the part of the region mmaped
from the file, to the file. The VOP_WRITE() is called with exclusively
locked vnode, while fault handler tried to lock the vnode in shared mode
to page in.

The following change fixed it for me.
Attilio, would it make sense to consider LK_CANRECURSE | LK_SHARED as
a request for the exlusive lock when the current thread already hold the
exclusive lock instead ? I think this would be a proper solution.
