sel_lock cannot nest in the console lock. Thanks to syzkaller, the
kernel states firmly:

This is ioctl(TIOCL_SETSEL).
Locks held on the path: console_lock -> sel_lock

This is write().

This is ioctl(TIOCL_PASTESEL).

Clearly. From the above, we have:
console_lock -> sel_lock
sel_lock -> termios_rwsem
termios_rwsem -> console_lock
Fix this by reversing the console_lock -> sel_lock dependency in
ioctl(TIOCL_SETSEL). First, lock sel_lock, then console_lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
