CVE-2024-26681: netdevsim: avoid potential loop in nsim_dev_trap_report_work()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netdevsim: avoid potential loop in nsimdevtrapreportwork()
Many syzbot reports include the following trace [1]
If nsimdevtrapreportwork() can not grab the mutex, it should rearm itself at least one jiffie later.
