I observed the blktests test case nvme/039 failure with v6.14-rc3 kernel. I
bisected and found that this patch in the v6.14-rc3 is the trigger.
The test run output is as follows:
nvme/039 => nvme0n1 (test error logging) [failed]
runtime 5.378s ... 5.354s

Test complete
The test case does error injection. Test method requires reconsideration to
adjust to this kernel change, probably. Help for fix will be appreciated.
