[bug report] blktests nvme/062 hang

Hello all,

Recently the new test case nvme/062 was added, which tests
"TLS-encrypted connections". I ran it with the kernel v6.15-rc2, and observed
"BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference" followed by system hang [1].

  When I had run the test case with v6.14 kernel, I had not observed the
  failure. However, I noticed that when I repeat the test case several times on
  the v6.14 kernel, the same failure happens. It looks that the problem has been
  existing for a while, and kernel changes between v6.14 and v6.15-rc2 increased
  the failure ratio.

Actions for fix will be appreciated. I can run tests with debug patches or fix
candidate patches.
