This looks like it could be related to commit d000422a46aa ("tty:
tty_port: add workqueue to flip TTY buffer") in Greg's tty-next branch,
which was reverted yesterday:

	https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/2026012739-compile-bling-3779@gregkh/

Someone who knows the syzbot interface can probably verify and close
this as fixed.
