This reliably triggers with the following backtrace:

core_tpg_set_initiator_node_queue_depth() calls
lio_tpg_shutdown_session() inside a spin_lock_irqsave-protected block.
Calling spin_unlock_bh later in the call chain always triggers the
warning.

That sounds like something coverity could be taught with reasonable
effort - if someone from them is listening. Not sure if sparse has
enough context to do the same.
Just to play thick and make things ultra-clear, you say the following
pattern is never legal, correct?
spin_lock_irq(save)
...
spin_lock_bh
...
spin_unlock_bh
...
spin_unlock_irq(restore)

Will do.
