other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  console_owner --> &p->pi_lock --> &rq->__lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&rq->__lock);

                               lock(&rq->__lock);
  lock(console_owner);
