vfio_dev_present() which is the condition to
wait_event_interruptible_timeout(), will call vfio_group_get_device
and try to acquire the mutex group->device_lock.
wait_event_interruptible_timeout() will set the state of the current
task to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, before doing the condition check. This
means that we will try to acquire the mutex while already in a
sleeping state. The scheduler warns us by giving the following
warning:
