commit 0fc0287c9ed1ffd3706f8b4d9b314aa102ef1245 upstream.
Juri hit the below lockdep report:
[ 4.303391] ======================================================
[ 4.303392] [ INFO: SOFTIRQ-safe -> SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order detected ]
[ 4.303394] 3.12.0-dl-peterz+ #144 Not tainted
[ 4.303395] ------------------------------------------------------
[ 4.303397] kworker/u4:3/689 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE0:SE1] is trying to acquire:

[ 4.303417] and this task is already holding:

[ 4.303431] which would create a new lock dependency:

[ 4.303436]
[ 4.303898] the dependencies between the lock to be acquired and SOFTIRQ-irq-unsafe lock:

[ 4.303959] INITIAL USE at:
[ 4.303960] [<ffffffff8108a884>] __lock_acquire+0x344/0x1ff0
[ 4.303963] [<ffffffff8108cbe3>] lock_acquire+0x93/0x140

[ 4.303969] [<ffffffff816ded6c>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0
[ 4.303972] }
Which reports that we take mems_allowed_seq with interrupts enabled. A
little digging found that this can only be from
cpuset_change_task_nodemask().
This is an actual deadlock because an interrupt doing an allocation will
hit get_mems_allowed()->...->__read_seqcount_begin(), which will spin
forever waiting for the write side to complete.
