Bisecting leads to this:

ffa1e7ada456 ("block: Make request_queue lockdep splats show up earlier")

Which may be doing what it says on the tin. But, I don't think I've
ever seen the "type 1 splats" on this machine even though every kernel
I build has lockdep enabled.

So it this showing up a real problem that happens to be very difficult
to hit? Or has it introduced a false positive?
