other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &ovl_i_mutex_dir_key[depth] --> &p->lock --> &sig->exec_update_mutex

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&sig->exec_update_mutex);
                               lock(&p->lock);
                               lock(&sig->exec_update_mutex);
  lock(&ovl_i_mutex_dir_key[depth]);
