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

drm/sched: Fix fence reference count leak

The last_scheduled fence leaks when an entity is being killed and adding
the cleanup callback fails.

Decrement the reference count of prev when dma_fence_add_callback()
fails, ensuring proper balance.
