CVE-2026-23452

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

PM: runtime: Fix a race condition related to device removal

The following code in pm_runtime_work() may dereference the dev->parent
pointer after the parent device has been freed:

	/* Maybe the parent is now able to suspend. */
	if (parent && !parent->power.ignore_children) {
		spin_unlock(&dev->power.lock);

		spin_lock(&parent->power.lock);
		rpm_idle(parent, RPM_ASYNC);
		spin_unlock(&parent->power.lock);

		spin_lock(&dev->power.lock);
	}

Fix this by inserting a flush_work() call in pm_runtime_remove().

Without this patch blktest block/001 triggers the following complaint
sporadically:
