other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &root->kernfs_iattr_rwsem --> cpuhp_state_mutex --> &root->kernfs_rwsem

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&root->kernfs_rwsem);
                               lock(cpuhp_state_mutex);
                               lock(&root->kernfs_rwsem);
  lock(&root->kernfs_iattr_rwsem);
