WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
syzkaller #0 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
syz.1.33/5940 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff88805245a868 (&subsys->lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: nvmet_ctrl_free+0xa6/0x8e0 drivers/nvme/target/core.c:1766

but task is already holding lock:
ffff88805245a868 (&subsys->lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: nvmet_port_del_ctrls+0x2e/0x150 drivers/nvme/target/core.c:308

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(&subsys->lock);
  lock(&subsys->lock);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation
