This BUG clarifies the {+.+.}:

4 locks held by kworker/0:145/381:
 #0:  ((wq_completion)"hwsim_wq"){+.+.}, at: [<000000003f9487f0>] work_static include/linux/workqueue.h:198 [inline]

There we have rtnl_mutex locked and the {..} is like above. It's definitely locked
since there is one more lock after it.

This BUG happen because of there are many rtnl_mutex waiters while owner
is synchronizing RCU. Rather clear for me in comparison to the topic's hung.
