Sample crash report:
============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
6.6.102-syzkaller #0 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
syz.2.53/5990 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff888078ed2218 (&qs->lock){....}-{2:2}, at: queue_stack_map_push_elem+0x171/0x5f0 kernel/bpf/queue_stack_maps.c:210

but task is already holding lock:
ffff888078ed2a18 (&qs->lock){....}-{2:2}, at: queue_stack_map_push_elem+0x171/0x5f0 kernel/bpf/queue_stack_maps.c:210

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(&qs->lock);
  lock(&qs->lock);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation
