syz.0.189/5005 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE0:SE1] is trying to acquire:

ffff88807b4da630 (&f->f_owner.lock){....}-{2:2}, at: send_sigio+0x2f/0x360 fs/fcntl.c:770
which would create a new lock dependency:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &client->buffer_lock --> &f->f_owner.lock --> tasklist_lock

 Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
