CVE-2025-38374

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

optee: ffa: fix sleep in atomic context

The OP-TEE driver registers the function notif_callback() for FF-A
notifications. However, this function is called in an atomic context
leading to errors like this when processing asynchronous notifications:

 | BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:258
 | in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, non_block: 0, pid: 9, name: kworker/0:0

Fix this by adding work queue to process the notification in a
non-atomic context.
