CVE: CVE-2024-35795

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

drm/amdgpu: fix deadlock while reading mqd from debugfs

An errant disk backup on my desktop got into debugfs and triggered the
following deadlock scenario in the amdgpu debugfs files. The machine
also hard-resets immediately after those lines are printed (although I
wasn't able to reproduce that part when reading by hand):
