The nvme-6.15-2025-04-10 branch used by Kmaljit includes some v6.15
commits like the cgroup commit 093c8812de2d3 ("cgroup: rstat:
Cleanup flushing functions and locking") but not its fix commit
7d6c63c31914 ("cgroup: rstat: call cgroup_rstat_updated_list with
cgroup_rstat_lock"). That can cause system crash in some cases. That
problem will be resolved if nvme is rebased on top of v6.15-rc1 or
later as the fix commit will be included.
