 [   10.028025]   console_owner --> target_list_lock --> _xmit_ETHER#2  

Note, the problem is that we have a location that grabs the xmit_lock while
holding target_list_lock (and possibly console_owner).

Well, it try_locks the xmit_lock. Does lockdep understand try-locks?

(not that I condone the shenanigans that are going on here)
