CVE-2026-23374: blktrace: fix __this_cpu_read/write in preemptible context
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

blktrace: fix __this_cpu_read/write in preemptible context

tracing_record_cmdline() internally uses __this_cpu_read() and
__this_cpu_write() on the per-CPU variable trace_cmdline_save, and
trace_save_cmdline() explicitly asserts preemption is disabled via
lockdep_assert_preemption_disabled(). These operations are only safe
when preemption is off, as they were designed to be called from the
scheduler context (probe_wakeup_sched_switch() / probe_wakeup()).

__blk_add_trace() was calling tracing_record_cmdline(current) early in
the blk_tracer path, before ring buffer reservation, from process
context where preemption is fully enabled. This triggers the following
using blktests/blktrace/002:

The same BUG fires from blk_add_trace_plug(), blk_add_trace_unplug(),
and blk_add_trace_rq() paths as well.
