syzkaller reported the lockdep splat due to the possible deadlock of grp->list_mutex of each sequencer client object. Actually this is rather a false-positive report due to the missing nested lock annotations. The sequencer client may deliver the event directly to another client which takes another own lock. For addressing this issue, this patch replaces the simple down_read() with down_read_nested(). As a lock subclass, the already existing "hop" can be re-used, which indicates the depth of the call.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
