syz-executor847/8140 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:
00000000fc0dd0e2 (&acct->lock#2){+.+.}, at: acct_pin_kill+0x27/0x100 kernel/acct.c:173

which lock already depends on the new lock.

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &ovl_i_mutex_key[depth] --> sb_writers#4 --> &acct->lock#2

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&acct->lock#2);
                               lock(sb_writers#4);
                               lock(&acct->lock#2);
  lock(&ovl_i_mutex_key[depth]);
