======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
5.0.0+ #15 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
syz-executor773/7680 is trying to acquire lock:
00000000c05ca8f5 ((console_sem).lock){-.-.}, at: down_trylock+0x13/0x70 kernel/locking/semaphore.c:136

but task is already holding lock:
00000000ff5f4b54 (&base->lock){-.-.}, at: lock_timer_base+0x56/0x1b0 kernel/time/timer.c:937

which lock already depends on the new lock.

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  (console_sem).lock --> &rq->lock --> &base->lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&base->lock);
                               lock(&rq->lock);
                               lock(&base->lock);
  lock((console_sem).lock);
