Subject: CVE-2025-21953: net: mana: cleanup mana struct after debugfs_remove()

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

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

net: mana: cleanup mana struct after debugfs_remove()

When on a MANA VM hibernation is triggered, as part of hibernate_snapshot(),
mana_gd_suspend() and mana_gd_resume() are called. If during this
mana_gd_resume(), a failure occurs with HWC creation, mana_port_debugfs
pointer does not get reinitialized and ends up pointing to older,
cleaned-up dentry.
Further in the hibernation path, as part of power_down(), mana_gd_shutdown()
is triggered. This call, unaware of the failures in resume, tries to cleanup
the already cleaned up  mana_port_debugfs value and hits the following bug:

To fix this, we explicitly set such mana debugfs variables to NULL after
debugfs_remove() is called.

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:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a1466112fb6e819261272ad75e7db750a43b78bf
