CVE-2026-23032

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

null_blk: fix kmemleak by releasing references to fault configfs items

When CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NULL_BLK_FAULT_INJECTION is enabled, the null-blk
driver sets up fault injection support by creating the timeout_inject,
requeue_inject, and init_hctx_fault_inject configfs items as children
of the top-level nullbX configfs group.

However, when the nullbX device is removed, the references taken to
these fault-config configfs items are not released. As a result,
kmemleak reports a memory leak, for example:

unreferenced object 0xc00000021ff25c40 (size 32):

Fix this by explicitly releasing the references to the fault-config
configfs items when dropping the reference to the top-level nullbX
configfs group.
