I assume that is the second warning here:

#define spin_lock_mutex(lock, flags)			\
	do {						\
		struct mutex *l = container_of(lock, struct mutex, wait_lock); \
							\
		DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(in_interrupt());	\
		local_irq_save(flags);			\
		__raw_spin_lock(&(lock)->raw_lock);	\
		DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(l->magic != l);	\
	} while (0)

(it's a bit awkward that both warnings are at the same line number).

This looks like the bug which Linus has been chasing.  iirc, that's
half-fixed now.

This might fix, not sure..
