CVE-2026-74267

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

net/sched: sch_codel: Do not call qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog during peek before restoring qlen

Whenever codel drops packets during peek, it calls
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog. An issue arises because it calls
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog before it reincrements the qlen. If qlen drops
to zero, but peek returns an skb, the parent's qlen_notify callback will
be executed even though codel still has 1 packet on the queue and, thus,
will mistakenly deactivate the parent's class causing issues like a wild
memory access when qfq has codel as a child:

Fix this by only calling qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog in peek after the
qlen is restored.
