CVE-2025-21713

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

powerpc/pseries/iommu: Don't unset window if it was never set

On pSeries, when user attempts to use the same vfio container used by
different iommu group, the spapr_tce_set_window() returns -EPERM
and the subsequent cleanup leads to the below crash.

   Kernel attempted to read user page (308) - exploit attempt?
