We see the same problem here and it started with 5.15-rc2 in our nightly CI runs.
The CI has panic_on_warn enabled so we see the panic every day now.

Its always the same pattern: module SMC calls dma_map_sg_attrs() which ends
up in the EEXIST warning sooner or later.

It would be better to revert this patch now and start to better understand the
checking logic for overlapping areas.

Thank you.

The call trace for reference:
