There were 3 deadlock reports uploaded by syzbot due to this patch. It seems
like this patch should be fixed or reverted in its entirety.

Shouldn't we use mutex_unlock here? I don't know if there's a special reason
for writing it this way or if it's a mistake, but doing it this way causes a
deadlock due to recursive locking.
