That's a kernel internal function: it's probably something like the
kernel locking a device for exclusive access from a particular source,
and then finding that it's actually locked out the bit that was
requesting the lock.
That shouldn't happen. However, without a whole lot more information,
there's no way anyone can tell you what exactly has gone wrong or even
how to fix it. Take a look at these articles for instructions on how
to interact meaningfully with the kernel developers:
