but task is already holding lock:

which lock already depends on the new lock.

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  kn->active#32 --> cpu_hotplug_lock --> cpuhp_state-down

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(cpuhp_state-down);
                               lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);
                               lock(cpuhp_state-down);
  lock(kn->active#32);
