which lock already depends on the new lock.

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  nvmf_dev_mutex --> &ima_iint_mutex_key[depth] --> &p->lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&p->lock);
                               lock(&ima_iint_mutex_key[depth]);
                               lock(&p->lock);
  lock(nvmf_dev_mutex);
