In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ptrring: do not block hard interrupts in ptrringresizemultiple()
Jakub added a lockdepassertnohardirq() check in _pagepoolput_page() to increase test coverage.
syzbot found a splat caused by hard irq blocking in ptrringresize_multiple() [1]
As current users of ptrringresize_multiple() do not require hard irqs being masked, replace it to only block BH.
Rename helpers to better reflect they are safe against BH only.
