A circular lock dependency splat has been seen involving down_trylock().

[ 4011.795602] ======================================================
[ 4011.795603] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
[ 4011.795607] 6.12.0-41.el10.s390x+debug
[ 4011.795612] ------------------------------------------------------
[ 4011.795613] dd/32479 is trying to acquire lock:
[ 4011.795617] 0015a20accd0d4f8 ((console_sem).lock){-.-.}-{2:2}, at: down_trylock+0x26/0x90
[ 4011.795636]
[ 4011.795636] but task is already holding lock:
[ 4011.795637] 000000017e461698 (&zone->lock){-.-.}-{2:2}, at: rmqueue_bulk+0xac/0x8f0

  the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
  -> #4 (&zone->lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
  -> #3 (hrtimer_bases.lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
  -> #2 (&rq->__lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
  -> #1 (&p->pi_lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
  -> #0 ((console_sem).lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:

The last two are due to calling try_to_wake_up() while holding the
console.sem raw_spinlock. Break this circular lock dependency by using
wake_q to do the wakeup instead of calling try_to_wake_up() under the
lock. By doing so, the semaphore's raw_spinlock becomes a terminal lock
without taking any further raw_spinlock's underneath it.
