CVE-2025-38700

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

scsi: libiscsi: Initialize iscsi_conn->dd_data only if memory is allocated

In case of an ib_fast_reg_mr allocation failure during iSER setup, the
machine hits a panic because iscsi_conn->dd_data is initialized
unconditionally, even when no memory is allocated (dd_size == 0).  This
leads invalid pointer dereference during connection teardown.

Fix by setting iscsi_conn->dd_data only if memory is actually allocated.

Panic trace:
