CVE-2026-23311

EUVD-2026-15253
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

perf/core: Fix invalid wait context in ctx_sched_in()

Lockdep found a bug in the event scheduling when a pinned event was
failed and wakes up the threads in the ring buffer like below.

It seems it should not grab a wait-queue lock under perf-context lock.
Let's do it with irq_work.
