I dug up the synchronous patch

    https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1579878449-10164-1-git-send-email-prsood@codeaurora.org/

but surprisingly wasn't able to reproduce the lockdep splat from

    https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/F0388D99-84D7-453B-9B6B-EEFF0E7BE4CC@lca.pw/

even though I could hit it a few weeks ago.  I'm going to try to mess
with it later, but don't let me hold this up.
