I am starting to think I am ;)

If you have task1 != task2 this code

	task_lock(task1);
	task_lock(task2);

should trigger print_deadlock_bug(), task1->alloc_lock and task2->alloc_lock are
the "same" lock from lockdep pov, held_lock's will have the same hlock_class().

OK,

in this case find_lock_task_mm() won't be called, and this is what saves us from
the actual deadlock.

this reports that CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is enabled ;)

yes, looks like simple_lmk has at least 2 locked victims. And I have no idea why
you do not see anything else in dmesg. May be debug_locks_off() was already called.

But see above, "grep lockdep" won't work.  Perhaps you can do
"grep -e WARNING -e BUG -e locking".
