ptp ptp0: delete virtual clock ptp3
======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
6.16.0-rc5-syzkaller #0 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
syz.2.679/9426 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff88814a694130 (&clk->rwsem){++++}-{4:4}, at: posix_clock_unregister+0x4d/0xd0 kernel/time/posix-clock.c:184

but task is already holding lock:
ffff888030b6a868 (&ptp->n_vclocks_mux){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: n_vclocks_store+0xf1/0x6d0 drivers/ptp/ptp_sysfs.c:215

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
