This was with conservative as the default, and switching to ondemand

 sh/75 is trying to acquire lock:
  (s_active#9){++++..}, at: [<c0358a94>] kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x3c/0x84

 but task is already holding lock:
  (&policy->rwsem){+++++.}, at: [<c05ab1f0>] store+0x68/0xb8

 which lock already depends on the new lock.


 the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
