When we get into activate_mm(), lockdep complains that we're doing
something strange:
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
5.1.0-10252-gb00152307319-dirty torvalds#121 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
inside.sh/366 is trying to acquire lock:
(____ptrval____) (&(&p->alloc_lock)->rlock){+.+.}, at: flush_old_exec+0x703/0x8d7
but task is already holding lock:
(____ptrval____) (&mm->mmap_sem){++++}, at: flush_old_exec+0x6c5/0x8d7
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

I think it's because in exec_mmap() we have
down_read(&old_mm->mmap_sem);
...
task_lock(tsk);
...
activate_mm(active_mm, mm);
(which does down_write(&mm->mmap_sem))
I'm not really sure why lockdep throws in the whole knowledge
about the task lock, but it seems that old_mm and mm shouldn't
ever be the same (and it doesn't deadlock) so tell lockdep that
they're different.
