There is simple code block in net/smc/af_smc.c:

		spin_lock_irqsave(&smc_wait->lock, flags);
		spin_lock(&clc_wait->lock);
		list_splice_init(&smc_wait->head, &clc_wait->head);
		spin_unlock(&clc_wait->lock);
		spin_unlock_irqrestore(&smc_wait->lock, flags);

smc_wait and clc_wait are too different pointers (based on report), but 
these 2 different wait_queue locks registered to lockdep map via 
sock_alloc_inode(), where init_waitqueue_head(&ei->socket.wq.wait); is 
called. So any nested wait_queue_head_t locking will cause lockdep warning.

Have no idea how to handle it, just my thoughts about root case :)
