syz.7.896/8932 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffffff8d197b48 (disks_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: md_alloc+0x48/0xc10 drivers/md/md.c:5730

but task is already holding lock:

ffffffff8c1d4988 (param_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: param_attr_store+0xcb/0x300 kernel/params.c:583

which lock already depends on the new lock.
