Hello,

syzbot has tested the proposed patch but the reproducer is still triggering an issue:
possible deadlock in tasklet_action_common

======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
syzkaller #0 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
syz.2.59/6959 is trying to acquire lock:

ffff8880b86241a0 (tasklet_sync_callback.cb_lock){+...}-{3:3}, at: tasklet_action_common+0xc5/0x600 kernel/softirq.c:959

but task is already holding lock:

ffff888040042270 (&dev->event_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: input_inject_event+0xab/0x310 drivers/input/input.c:419

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
