syz.7.6222/23735 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffffff90e7c0b0 (qp_broker_list.mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: vmci_qp_broker_detach+0x14c/0x11e0 drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmci_queue_pair.c:2095

but task is already holding lock:

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

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(qp_broker_list.mutex);
  lock(qp_broker_list.mutex);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation
