Test for CVE-2026-43499 (GhostLock), a stack use-after-free in the
rtmutex PI code, fixed in kernel v7.1:
3bfdc63936dd ("rtmutex: Use waiter::task instead of current in remove_waiter()")
Reproducer based on the Nebula Security writeup and open-sourced PoC
(https://nebusec.ai/research/ionstack-part-2/, https://github.com/NebuSec/CyberMeowfia).
Beware, this test will crash the system on a vulnerable kernel.
Assisted by Kimi K3 for the analysis and written mostly with Gemini Pro
3.1 Max.
