other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &nbd->config_lock --> (wq_completion)nbd2-recv --> (work_completion)(&args->work)

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock((work_completion)(&args->work));
                               lock((wq_completion)nbd2-recv);
                               lock((work_completion)(&args->work));
  lock(&nbd->config_lock);
