syz.1.1417/11118 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff888034847480 (&of->mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: kernfs_seq_start+0x4f/0x2a0 fs/kernfs/file.c:165

ffff888058252998 (&p->lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: seq_read_iter+0xe1/0x1270 fs/seq_file.c:183

which lock already depends on the new lock.

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &of->mutex --> &ima_iint_mutex_key[depth] --> &p->lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:
