WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
syzkaller #0 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
syz.4.200/6538 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffffff8e99c8d8 (major_names_lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: blk_probe_dev block/genhd.c:885 [inline]
ffffffff8e99c8d8 (major_names_lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: blk_request_module+0x35/0x2a0 block/genhd.c:901

but task is already holding lock:
ffff88802a5c8340 (&mddev->reconfig_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: mddev_lock drivers/md/md.h:713 [inline]
ffff88802a5c8340 (&mddev->reconfig_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: mddev_suspend_and_lock+0x48/0xf0 drivers/md/md.h:1019

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  major_names_lock --> (work_completion)(&mddev->sync_work) --> &mddev->reconfig_mutex

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&mddev->reconfig_mutex);
                               lock((work_completion)(&mddev->sync_work));
                               lock(&mddev->reconfig_mutex);
  lock(major_names_lock);
