which lock already depends on the new lock.

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  gadget_subsys.su_mutex --> tpg_instances_lock --> &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#25

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#25);
                               lock(tpg_instances_lock);
                               lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#25);
  lock(gadget_subsys.su_mutex);
