Ok, I think I get what happens now.

The threads that call nvmet_tcp_data_ready() (takes the read lock 2
times) and
nvmet_tcp_release_queue_work() (tries to take the write lock)
are blocking each other.
So I still think that deferring the call to queue->data_ready() by
using a workqueue should fix it.
