CVE-2026-23167: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  nfc: nci: Fix race between rfkill and nci_unregister_device().  syzbot reported the splat below [0] without a repro.  It indicates that struct nci_dev.cmd_wq had been destroyed before nci_close_device() was called via rfkill.  nci_dev.cmd_wq is only destroyed in nci_unregister_device(), which (I think) was called from virtual_ncidev_close() when syzbot close()d an fd of virtual_ncidev.  The problem is that nci_unregister_device() destroys nci_dev.cmd_wq first and then calls nfc_unregister_device(), which removes the device from rfkill by rfkill_unregister().  So, the device is still visible via rfkill even after nci_dev.cmd_wq is destroyed.  Let's unregister the device from rfkill first in nci_unregister_device().  Note that we cannot call nfc_unregister_device() before nci_close_device() because    1) nfc_unregister_device() calls device_del() which frees      all memory allocated by devm_kzalloc() and linked to      ndev->conn_info_list    2) nci_rx_work() could try to queue nci_conn_info to      ndev->conn_info_list which could be leaked  Thus, nfc_unregister_device() is split into two functions so we can remove rfkill interfaces only before nci_close_device().
