With the help of Pavel Machek and Jiri Slaby I was able 'git bisect'
this to:

   yoda:/usr/src/kernels/linux-5.13.y# git bisect good
   a483f513670541227e6a31ac7141826b8c785842 is the first bad commit
   commit a483f513670541227e6a31ac7141826b8c785842

       bfq: Remove merged request already in bfq_requests_merged()

       [ Upstream commit a921c655f2033dd1ce1379128efe881dda23ea37 ]

       Currently, bfq does very little in bfq_requests_merged() and handles all
       the request cleanup in bfq_finish_requeue_request() called from
       blk_mq_free_request(). That is currently safe only because
       blk_mq_free_request() is called shortly after bfq_requests_merged()
       while bfqd->lock is still held. However to fix a lock inversion between
       bfqd->lock and ioc->lock, we need to call blk_mq_free_request() after
       dropping bfqd->lock. That would mean that already merged request could
       be seen by other processes inside bfq queues and possibly dispatched to
       the device which is wrong. So move cleanup of the request from
       bfq_finish_requeue_request() to bfq_requests_merged().
