WARNING: possible recursive locking detected

--------------------------------------------
syz-executor254/7985 is trying to acquire lock:
00000000076d622b (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}, at: rtnl_lock+0x17/0x20 net/core/rtnetlink.c:77

but task is already holding lock:

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(rtnl_mutex);
  lock(rtnl_mutex);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation
