other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  sb_writers#5 --> &sig->cred_guard_mutex --> &ovl_i_mutex_dir_key[depth]#2

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&ovl_i_mutex_dir_key[depth]#2);
                               lock(&sig->cred_guard_mutex);
                               lock(&ovl_i_mutex_dir_key[depth]#2);
  lock(sb_writers#5);
