other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  cpu_add_remove_lock --> kn->active#5 --> &device->physical_node_lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&device->physical_node_lock);
                               lock(kn->active#5);
                               lock(&device->physical_node_lock);
  lock(cpu_add_remove_lock);
