commit 1ba0403ac644 ("block, bfq: fix uaf for accessing waker_bfqq after
splitting") fix the problem that if waker_bfqq is in the merge chain,
and current is the only procress, waker_bfqq can be freed from
bfq_split_bfqq(). However, the case that waker_bfqq is not in the merge
chain is missed, and if the procress reference of waker_bfqq is 0,
waker_bfqq can be freed as well.

Fix the problem by checking procress reference if waker_bfqq is not in
the merge_chain.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-21631 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:
