Hi all,

just saw this in dmesg while running -rc1 + tip/master:


[ 6983.694615] =============================================
[ 6983.694617] [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]

[ 6983.694621] ---------------------------------------------
[ 6983.694623] kvm/20461 is trying to acquire lock:

[ 6983.694636] 
[ 6983.694636] but task is already holding lock:

[ 6983.694645] 
[ 6983.694645] other info that might help us debug this:
