syz.3.1278/10365 is trying to acquire lock:

ffff888029ac0d30 (&q->blkcg_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: blkg_conf_prep+0xbc/0xf10 block/blk-cgroup.c:849

which lock already depends on the new lock.

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  fs_reclaim --> &q->q_usage_counter(io)#66 --> &q->blkcg_mutex

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&q->blkcg_mutex);
                               lock(&q->q_usage_counter(io)#66);
                               lock(&q->blkcg_mutex);
  lock(fs_reclaim);
