For the PoV of lockdep, this means some one tries to acquire a mutex
inside an RCU read-side critical section, which is bad, because one can
not sleep (voluntarily) inside RCU.

However I don't think it's the true case here, because 1) normally
people are very careful not putting mutex or other sleepable locks
inside RCU and 2) in the above splats, lockdep find the rcu read lock is
held at dput() while the acquiring of the mutex is at ret_to_user(),
clearly there is no call site (in the same context) from the RCU
read-side critial section of dput() to ret_to_user().

One chance of hitting this is that there is a bug in context/irq tracing
that makes the contexts of dput() and ret_to_user() as one contexts so
that lockdep gets confused and reports a false postive.

FWIW, I think this might be related to some know issues for ARM64 with
lockdep and irq tracing:

	https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201119225352.GA5251@willie-the-truck/

And Mark already has series to fix them:

	https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git/log/?h=arm64/irq-fixes

But I must defer to Mark for the latest fix ;-)
