I just hit one too, and decided to write a patch to show a chain of 3
when applicable.

For example:

Chain exists of:
cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem --> smpboot_threads_lock --> (complete)&self->parked

Possible unsafe locking scenario by crosslock:

CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
---- ---- ----
lock(smpboot_threads_lock);
lock((complete)&self->parked);
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
lock(smpboot_threads_lock);
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
unlock((complete)&self->parked);

*** DEADLOCK ***
