Amazon Linux AMI 2: CVE-2024-48881: Security patch for kernel (Multiple Advisories)

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

bcache: revert replacing IS_ERR_OR_NULL with IS_ERR again

Commit 028ddcac477b ("bcache: Remove unnecessary NULL point check in
node allocations") leads a NULL pointer deference in cache_set_flush().

1721 if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(c->root))
1722 list_add(&c->root->list, &c->btree_cache);

>From the above code in cache_set_flush(), if previous registration code
fails before allocating c->root, it is possible c->root is NULL as what
it is initialized. __bch_btree_node_alloc() never returns NULL but
c->root is possible to be NULL at above line 1721.

This patch replaces IS_ERR() by IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to fix this.
