CVE-2025-68262

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

crypto: zstd - fix double-free in per-CPU stream cleanup

The crypto/zstd module has a double-free bug that occurs when multiple
tfms are allocated and freed.

The issue happens because zstd_streams (per-CPU contexts) are freed in
zstd_exit() during every tfm destruction, rather than being managed at
the module level.  When multiple tfms exist, each tfm exit attempts to
free the same shared per-CPU streams, resulting in a double-free.

This leads to a stack trace similar to:

Change the lifecycle management of zstd_streams to free the streams only
once during module cleanup.
