Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-docs to version 6.4.0-150600.23.25.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-docs package and not the kernel-docs package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

s390/uv: Don't call folio_wait_writeback() without a folio reference

folio_wait_writeback() requires that no spinlocks are held and that a folio reference is held, as documented. After we dropped the PTL, the folio could get freed concurrently. So grab a temporary reference.
