XFS (loop7): Unmounting Filesystem
======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
syzkaller #0 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
syz-executor/6527 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff888024b7b4c8 (&disk->open_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: blkdev_put+0xf7/0x780 block/bdev.c:930

which lock already depends on the new lock.

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
&disk->open_mutex --> &nbd->config_lock --> &type->s_umount_key#59

Possible unsafe locking scenario:

lock(&type->s_umount_key#59);
