Subject: CVE-2024-41077: null_blk: fix validation of block size

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

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

null_blk: fix validation of block size

Block size should be between 512 and PAGE_SIZE and be a power of 2. The current
check does not validate this, so update the check.

Without this patch, null_blk would Oops due to a null pointer deref when
loaded with bs=1536 [1].

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:
