Sorry for my unclearly previously description.
1. no such lockdep warning in latest mainline kernel git tree.
2. there is a 100% producible warning based on your latest mmotm tree
3. after applying the commit efd112 based on your mmotm tree, the warning
disappearred

I will do some further digging to answer your question if no other experts' help
