CVE-2026-90342: bpf: Fix mmap_lock deadlock on arena lock failure

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

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

bpf: Fix mmap_lock deadlock on arena lock failure

Reported by the Sashiko AI review.

arena_vm_fault() returns VM_FAULT_RETRY when it can't take
arena->spinlock, but it never took mmap_lock. The fault path assumes a
VM_FAULT_RETRY handler already dropped mmap_lock and re-takes it on the
retry, so mmap_lock gets taken twice and can deadlock:

	do_user_addr_fault()
	{
		fault = handle_mm_fault(...);   // calls arena_vm_fault()
		if (fault & VM_FAULT_RETRY)
			goto retry;   // re-locks mmap_lock
		mmap_read_unlock(mm);
	}

Return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS instead, for two reasons:

1. We could keep VM_FAULT_RETRY, but then we'd have to drop the fault
   lock first and cap the retry ourselves, the way __folio_lock_or_retry()
   does.

2. A failed raw_res_spin_lock_irqsave() already means a possible deadlock
   was detected, so retrying just hits the same lock again.

So returning VM_FAULT_RETRY here is overkill.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-90342 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:
