other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  fs_reclaim --> cpu_hotplug_lock --> &root->kernfs_iattr_rwsem

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&root->kernfs_iattr_rwsem);
                               lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);
                               lock(&root->kernfs_iattr_rwsem);
  lock(fs_reclaim);
