Subject: fs: possible deadlock in do_iter_write/do_splice

Hi,

I've got the following error report while fuzzing the kernel with syzkaller.

On commit 9b51f04424e17051a89ab32d892ca66b2a104825 (4.12+).

============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected

--------------------------------------------
syz-executor4/6792 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(sb_writers#5);
  lock(sb_writers#5);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation
