Looks like the problem is actually in nfc, so +nfc maintainers.

Note this issue was discussed before, maybe we should patch NFC without waiting for nfc maintainer.

But this thread is still in an infinite (unkillable?) loop? If yes, we
are waiting for the next syzbot report 

The loop is still infinite, correct, but we have a preemption point now.
Sure, net people can come with a much better solution, I'll be happy to
scratch my patch.

This can not be the right solution, think about current thread being real time,
cond_resched() might be a nop.

We should probably not loop at all, or not use MSG_DONTWAIT.

(And remove this useless "Could not allocate PDU" message)

NFC maintainers should really take a look at this.
