WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
syzkaller #0 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
syz-executor238/5605 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff888023536d98 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#16){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: inode_lock include/linux/fs.h:1024 [inline]
ffff888023536d98 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#16){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: configfs_depend_item_unlocked+0x153/0x420 fs/configfs/dir.c:1268

but task is already holding lock:
ffffffff8efea698 (tpg_instances_lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: usbg_make_tpg+0xf8/0x550 drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_tcm.c:1669

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#16 --> &gi->lock --> tpg_instances_lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(tpg_instances_lock);
                               lock(&gi->lock);
                               lock(tpg_instances_lock);
  lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#16);
