CVE-2026-46035

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

mm/page_alloc: return NULL early from alloc_frozen_pages_nolock() in NMI on UP

On UP kernels (!CONFIG_SMP), spin_trylock() is a no-op that
unconditionally succeeds even when the lock is already held. As a
result, alloc_frozen_pages_nolock() called from NMI context can
re-enter rmqueue() and acquire the zone lock that the interrupted
context is already holding, corrupting the freelists.

With CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK on UP, the following BUG is triggered with
the slub_kunit test module:

  BUG: spinlock trylock failure on UP on CPU#0, kunit_try_catch/243
  [...]
  Call Trace:
   <NMI>

   </NMI>

Fix this by returning NULL early when invoked from NMI on a UP kernel.
