which lock already depends on the new lock.

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &ovl_i_mutex_dir_key[depth] --> &p->lock --> &sig->cred_guard_mutex

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&sig->cred_guard_mutex);
                               lock(&p->lock);
                               lock(&sig->cred_guard_mutex);
  lock(&ovl_i_mutex_dir_key[depth]);
