Hi Greg !
Caught that on a console today running some 3.10-almost-rc2
(based on ec50f2a97a4a7098a81b40030e0bfe28bdc43740). Right now I don't
have the bandwidth to investigate but I though you might be
interested :-)
I'll take another peek if it happens again.

kworker/24:1/1089 is trying to acquire lock:
(&ldata->output_lock){+.+...}, at: [<c00000000037aa0c>]

which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:
Chain exists of:
&ldata->output_lock --> console_lock --> (&buf->work)
