WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

syz.5.203/6616 is trying to acquire lock:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &sb->s_type->i_lock_key --> &lockref->lock --> &l->lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&l->lock);
                               lock(&lockref->lock);
                               lock(&l->lock);
  lock(&sb->s_type->i_lock_key);
