Hello, Christoph.
I'm currently trying full bisection.

I think we will bisect this problem to
commit c76f48eb5c084b1e ("block: take bd_mutex around delete_partitions in del_gendisk")
because that commit introduced new locking dependency bdev_lookup_sem => disk->part0->bd_mutex
which matches the lockdep's report.
======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
5.12.0-rc6-next-20210409-syzkaller #0 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
syz-executor.4/10285 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff8881423245a0 (&bdev->bd_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: del_gendisk+0x250/0x9e0 block/genhd.c:618
but task is already holding lock:
ffffffff8c7d9430 (bdev_lookup_sem){++++}-{3:3}, at: del_gendisk+0x222/0x9e0 block/genhd.c:616
Do we need to revert "partition iteration simplifications" work?
