CVE-2026-64185

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

sysfs: don't remove existing directory on update failure

When sysfs_update_group() is called for a named group and create_files()
fails (e.g. -ENOMEM), internal_create_group() calls kernfs_remove(kn) on
the group directory.  In the update path, kn was obtained via
kernfs_find_and_get() and refers to a directory that already existed
before this call.  Removing it silently destroys a sysfs group that the
caller did not create.

Only remove the directory if we created it ourselves.  On update failure
the directory remains as it is left empty by remove_files() inside
create_files(), but can be repopulated by a retry.
