## Overview

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

drm/amdkfd: debugfs hang_hws skip GPU with MES

debugfs hang_hws is used by GPU reset test with HWS, for MES this crash
the kernel with NULL pointer access because dqm->packet_mgr is not setup
for MES path.

Skip GPU with MES for now, MES hang_hws debugfs interface will be
supported later.
