other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  sk_lock-AF_INET --> &cmd->lock --> &nsock->tx_lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&nsock->tx_lock);

                               lock(&nsock->tx_lock);
