Sample crash report:

------------------------------------------------------
syz.4.1562/14048 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff88807af9fc68 (&pipe->mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: anon_pipe_write+0x15d/0x1a70 fs/pipe.c:459

but task is already holding lock:
ffff8880588b8140 (&sbi->pipe_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: autofs_write fs/autofs/waitq.c:55 [inline]
ffff8880588b8140 (&sbi->pipe_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: autofs_notify_daemon+0x4a6/0xd60 fs/autofs/waitq.c:164

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &pipe->mutex --> &of->mutex --> &sbi->pipe_mutex

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&sbi->pipe_mutex);
                               lock(&of->mutex);
                               lock(&sbi->pipe_mutex);
  lock(&pipe->mutex);
