Lockdep reports a circular lock dependency between
atomic_read_lock and termios_rwsem [1]. However, a lock
order deadlock is not possible since CPU1 only holds a
read lock which cannot prevent CPU0 from also acquiring
a read lock on the same r/w semaphore.
Unfortunately, lockdep cannot currently distinguish whether
the locks are read or write for any particular lock graph,
merely that the locks _were_ previously read and/or write.
Until lockdep is fixed, re-order atomic_read_lock so
termios_rwsem can be dropped and reacquired without
triggering lockdep.
