It's a completely different code area, really. This triggers in
deactivate_slab().

Do you have CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING enabled? If yes, please
disable it. The Kconfig option explains that this will trigger
splats.

If not, then this is mysterious but has absolutely nothing to do with
the other thing. It's also completely unrelated to ACPI ...

Thanks,
