Hi,
I've got the following error report while fuzzing the kernel with syzkaller.
On commit 9b51f04424e17051a89ab32d892ca66b2a104825 (4.12+).
============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
4.12.0+ #42 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
syz-executor4/6792 is trying to acquire lock:

other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:

lock(sb_writers#5);
lock(sb_writers#5);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation
