I rechecked and indeed fd5f7cde1b85's parent has the problem, too, so I
did a mistake during my bisection :-|
Redoing the bisection (a bit quicker this time) points to
dbdda842fe96 ("printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load balance console writes")
Sorry for the confusion.

Just to make sure, I got you right: With the way lockdep works it is
right to assume there is a problem, but in fact there isn't?
This is IMHO unfortunate because such false positives reduces the
usefulness of lockdep considerably. :-|

See above. I bent off wrongly during bisection and dbdda842fe96
("printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load balance console
writes") is the first commit that issues the lockdep splat. I guess that
doesn't change what you said above though.
