Why is "x86/split lock detection" spamming my syslog when Steam is running?

  • 772

I have a ThinkPad X1C9 laptop connected to 3 displays via thunderbolt and an nVidia 1050Ti in an external GPU enclosure. My syslog is getting spammed with the following, why?

Googling CJobMgr led me to Steam. Closed Steam and it stopped. If I open Steam again it starts happening immediately.

I have filed an issue upstream with the Steam client, as it's the only thing that triggers this issue:
