WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

syz.0.592/7187 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffffff8c3139a0 (console_owner){-...}-{0:0}, at: console_lock_spinning_enable+0x2c/0x60 kernel/printk/printk.c:1802

but task is already holding lock:

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  console_owner --> &port_lock_key --> &port->lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&port->lock);
                               lock(&port_lock_key);
                               lock(&port->lock);
  lock(console_owner);
