other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#10 --> (wq_completion)"dio/%s"sb->s_id --> (work_completion)(&dio->complete_work)

Possible unsafe locking scenario:

CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock((work_completion)(&dio->complete_work));
lock((wq_completion)"dio/%s"sb->s_id);
lock((work_completion)(&dio->complete_work));
lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#10);
