Sample crash report:
============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
syzkaller #0 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
syz.8.9029/31141 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff88802f3c8d00 (team->team_lock_key#9){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: team_port_change_check drivers/net/team/team.c:3007 [inline]

but task is already holding lock:

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

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(team->team_lock_key#9);
  lock(team->team_lock_key#9);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation

2 locks held by syz.8.9029/31141:
