  - nvmet-tcp: check INIT_FAILED before nvmet_req_uninit in digest error path In nvmet_tcp_try_recv_ddgst(),
    when a data digest mismatch is detected, nvmet_req_uninit() is called unconditionally. However, if the
    command arrived via the nvmet_tcp_handle_req_failure() path, nvmet_req_init() had returned false and
    percpu_ref_tryget_live() was never executed. The unconditional percpu_ref_put() inside nvmet_req_uninit()
    then causes a refcount underflow, leading to a WARNING in percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_rcu, a use-after-
    free diagnostic, and eventually a permanent workqueue deadlock. Check cmd->flags & NVMET_TCP_F_INIT_FAILED
    before calling nvmet_req_uninit(), matching the existing pattern in nvmet_tcp_execute_request().
    (CVE-2026-64534)
