Thanks for the config.

Thanks for finding this. find_module() should be called with
module_mutex since 4.15. The media allocator patch was written
before that.

I didn't realize I don't have CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y when I switched
to a new system.

I reproduced the problem and re-worked patch 1 and patch 4 in this
series. I will resend the v10 for just those two patches tomorrow.

Please let me know if you want me to send the entire series.

thanks,
