CVE-2026-64568: wifi: mac80211: fix unsol_bcast_probe_resp double free on alloc failure

Description
===========

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

wifi: mac80211: fix unsol_bcast_probe_resp double free on alloc failure

ieee80211_set_unsol_bcast_probe_resp() calls kfree_rcu() on the old
template before allocating the replacement. If the kzalloc() then fails,
it returns -ENOMEM while link->u.ap.unsol_bcast_probe_resp still points
at the object already queued for freeing. A later update or AP teardown
re-queues that same rcu_head; the second free is caught by KASAN when the
RCU sheaf is processed in softirq:

  BUG: KASAN: double-free in rcu_free_sheaf (mm/slub.c:5850)
  Free of addr ffff88800d06f300 by task exploit/145
   ...
   __rcu_free_sheaf_prepare (mm/slub.c:2634 mm/slub.c:2940)
   rcu_free_sheaf (mm/slub.c:5850)
   rcu_core (kernel/rcu/tree.c:2617 kernel/rcu/tree.c:2869)
   handle_softirqs (kernel/softirq.c:622)
  The buggy address belongs to the cache kmalloc-128 of size 128

Queue the old object for kfree_rcu() only after the new one is published,
matching ieee80211_set_probe_resp() and ieee80211_set_s1g_short_beacon().

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64568 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
