syz.5.3257/15275 is trying to acquire lock:

ffffffff8d70fc48 (major_names_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: blk_request_module+0x31/0x290 block/genhd.c:705

but task is already holding lock:

ffff88807be282c0 (&mddev->reconfig_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: md_ioctl+0xbc5/0x26f0 drivers/md/md.c:7663

which lock already depends on the new lock.

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  major_names_lock --> kn->active#391 --> &mddev->reconfig_mutex

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&mddev->reconfig_mutex);
                               lock(kn->active#391);
                               lock(&mddev->reconfig_mutex);
  lock(major_names_lock);
