Bug 2393490 (CVE-2025-39723)

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

netfs: Fix unbuffered write error handling

If all the subrequests in an unbuffered write stream fail, the subrequest
collector doesn't update the stream->transferred value and it retains its
initial LONG_MAX value.  Unfortunately, if all active streams fail, then we
take the smallest value of { LONG_MAX, LONG_MAX, ... } as the value to set
in wreq->transferred - which is then returned from ->write_iter().

LONG_MAX was chosen as the initial value so that all the streams can be
quickly assessed by taking the smallest value of all stream->transferred -
but this only works if we've set any of them.

Fix this by adding a flag to indicate whether the value in
stream->transferred is valid and checking that when we integrate the
values.  stream->transferred can then be initialised to zero.

This was found by running the generic/750 xfstest against cifs with
cache=none.  It splices data to the target file.  Once (if) it has used up
all the available scratch space, the writes start failing with ENOSPC.
This causes ->write_iter() to fail.  However, it was returning
wreq->transferred, i.e. LONG_MAX, rather than an error (because it thought
the amount transferred was non-zero) and iter_file_splice_write() would
then try to clean up that amount of pipe bufferage - leading to an oops
when it overran.  The kernel log showed:

    CIFS: VFS: Send error in write = -28

followed by:

    BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008

with:

    RIP: 0010:iter_file_splice_write+0x3a4/0x520
    do_splice+0x197/0x4e0

or:

    RIP: 0010:pipe_buf_release (include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h:282)
    iter_file_splice_write (fs/splice.c:755)

Also put a warning check into splice to announce if ->write_iter() returned
that it had written more than it was asked to.
