The interesting thing about that is the working kernel had tons of these
allocation failures as well.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219061
See the attachment which called "This is a session with the last WORKING
KERNEL 6.6.23, NO ERRORS, everything fine".

I don't think the problem is Harshit's patch.  It should be easy enough
to do a `git show 9a98ab01e3ac | patch -p1  -R` and test the results.
If that doesn't fix the bug, then it would be nice to do a git bisect
between v6.6.23 and v6.6.24.
