I am testing quite recent "debug" kernel (with KASAN, Lockdep, etc
enabled). This kernel is based on
9f8413c4a66f2fb776d3dc3c9ed20bf435eb305e, and I found the following
lockdep DEADLOCK splat recently. Before investigating further, I would
like to share here to check if this is a known problem:

	other info that might help us debug this:

	 Chain exists of:
	(console_sem).lock --> &rq->__lock --> pool_lock#2

	  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

		CPU0                    CPU1
		----                    ----
	   lock(pool_lock#2);
					lock(&rq->__lock);
					lock(pool_lock#2);
	   lock((console_sem).lock);
