#syz test

Hello,

I've been unable to reproduce the error from this patch test by running
ktest with my patch on top of 05dbaf8dd8bf ("Merge tag 'x86-urgent-2025-01-28'
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip") and 2014c95afece
("Linux 6.14-rc1"). Since the error appears in the boot sequence before
the actual reproducer executes, I don't believe this patch is the
suspect. I'll resubmit the patch for testing, and take a deeper look if
the problem reappears.

Thanks,
Gautham Gujjula
