WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

syz-executor.4/11994 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&oi->lock){+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff823150bf>] ovl_nlink_start+0x22f/0x460 fs/overlayfs/util.c:523

but task is already holding lock:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &oi->lock --> &ovl_i_mutex_dir_key[depth]#2 --> sb_writers#6

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(sb_writers#6);

                               lock(sb_writers#6);
  lock(&oi->lock);
