Sample crash report:
============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
5.12.0-syzkaller #0 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
syz-executor.1/16085 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(&rdev->wiphy.mtx);
  lock(&rdev->wiphy.mtx);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation
