From: Selvin Xavier <selvin.xavier@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d455f29f6d76a5f94881ca1289aaa1e90617ff5d ] Fix possible recursive lock warning. Its a false warning as the locks are part of two differnt HW Queue data structure - cmdq and creq. Debug kernel is throwing the following warning and stack trace.
