netfs: zero the tail of a short DIO/unbuffered readgrafted
The buffered read collector zero-fills the tail of a short read that stops below the inode's i_size (netfs_clear_unread()), so a read that races an extending write still returns the expected number of bytes. The non-buffered collector path does no such thing: it just records how much was transferred. Add the same zero-fill for the non-buffered case, gated on NETFS_SREQ_CLEAR_TAIL: a subreq's source sets that flag when a short result from it is known to be safe to treat as a hole, as opposed to NETFS_SREQ_HIT_EOF, which means the read genuinely ran off the end of the file and should be reported short as-is. Only CLEAR_TAIL should zero-fill here; a real EOF must stay a real short read. No source currently sets CLEAR_TAIL on an unbuffered/DIO subrequest, so this is inert on its own -- a following change teaches cifs to set it in the one case that needs it.

+
+Panfrost DRM client usage stats implementation
+==============================================
+
+The drm/Panfrost driver implements the DRM client usage stats specification as
+documented in :ref:`drm-client-usage-stats`.
+
+Example of the output showing the implemented key value pairs and entirety of
+the currently possible format options:
+
+::
+ pos: 0
+ flags: 02400002
+ mnt_id: 27
+ ino: 531
+ drm-driver: panfrost
+ drm-client-id: 14
+ drm-engine-fragment: 1846584880 ns
+ drm-cycles-fragment: 1424359409
+ drm-maxfreq-fragment: 799999987 Hz
+ drm-curfreq-fragment: 799999987 Hz
+ drm-engine-vertex-tiler: 71932239 ns
+ drm-cycles-vertex-tiler: 52617357
+ drm-maxfreq-vertex-tiler: 799999987 Hz
+ drm-curfreq-vertex-tiler: 799999987 Hz
+ drm-total-memory: 290 MiB
+ drm-shared-memory: 0 MiB
+ drm-active-memory: 226 MiB
+ drm-resident-memory: 36496 KiB
+ drm-purgeable-memory: 128 KiB
+
+Possible `drm-engine-` key names are: `fragment`, and `vertex-tiler`.
+`drm-curfreq-` values convey the current operating frequency for that engine.
+
+Users must bear in mind that engine and cycle sampling are disabled by default,
+because of power saving concerns. `fdinfo` users and benchmark applications which
+query the fdinfo file must make sure to toggle the job profiling status of the
+driver by writing into the appropriate sysfs node::
+
+ echo <N> > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/panfrost/[a-f0-9]*.gpu/profiling
+
+Where `N` is either `0` or `1`, depending on the desired enablement status.
