which lock already depends on the new lock.

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &mddev->reconfig_mutex --> (wq_completion)md_misc --> (work_completion)(&mddev->sync_work)

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock((work_completion)(&mddev->sync_work));
                               lock((wq_completion)md_misc);
                               lock((work_completion)(&mddev->sync_work));
  lock(&mddev->reconfig_mutex);
