which lock already depends on the new lock.

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  gadget_subsys.su_mutex --> &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#29 --> &p->frag_sem

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  rlock(&p->frag_sem);
                               lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#29);
                               lock(&p->frag_sem);
  lock(gadget_subsys.su_mutex);
