CVE-2026-64164

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

btrfs: tracepoints: fix sleep while in atomic context in btrfs_sync_file()

The trace event btrfs_sync_file() is called in an atomic context (all trace
events are) and its call to dput(), which is needed due to the call to
dget_parent(), can sleep, triggering a kernel splat.

This can be reproduced by enabling the trace event and running btrfs/056
from fstests for example. The splat shown in dmesg is the following:

  [53.919] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at fs/dcache.c:970

So stop using dget_parent() and dput() and access the parent dentry
directly as dentry->d_parent. This is also what ext4 is doing in
its equivalent trace event ext4_sync_file_enter().
