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.

+===================
+MIPI SyS-T over STP
+===================
+
+The MIPI SyS-T protocol driver can be used with STM class devices to
+generate standardized trace stream. Aside from being a standard, it
+provides better trace source identification and timestamp correlation.
+
+In order to use the MIPI SyS-T protocol driver with your STM device,
+first, you'll need CONFIG_STM_PROTO_SYS_T.
+
+Now, you can select which protocol driver you want to use when you create
+a policy for your STM device, by specifying it in the policy name:
+
+# mkdir /config/stp-policy/dummy_stm.0:p_sys-t.my-policy/
+
+In other words, the policy name format is extended like this:
+
+  <device_name>:<protocol_name>.<policy_name>
+
+With Intel TH, therefore it can look like "0-sth:p_sys-t.my-policy".
+
+If the protocol name is omitted, the STM class will chose whichever
+protocol driver was loaded first.
+
+You can also double check that everything is working as expected by
+
+# cat /config/stp-policy/dummy_stm.0:p_sys-t.my-policy/protocol
+p_sys-t
+
+Now, with the MIPI SyS-T protocol driver, each policy node in the
+configfs gets a few additional attributes, which determine per-source
+parameters specific to the protocol:
+
+# mkdir /config/stp-policy/dummy_stm.0:p_sys-t.my-policy/default
+# ls /config/stp-policy/dummy_stm.0:p_sys-t.my-policy/default
+channels
+clocksync_interval
+do_len
+masters
+ts_interval
+uuid
+
+The most important one here is the "uuid", which determines the UUID
+that will be used to tag all data coming from this source. It is
+automatically generated when a new node is created, but it is likely
+that you would want to change it.
+
+do_len switches on/off the additional "payload length" field in the
+MIPI SyS-T message header. It is off by default as the STP already
+marks message boundaries.
+
+ts_interval and clocksync_interval determine how much time in milliseconds
+can pass before we need to include a protocol (not transport, aka STP)
+timestamp in a message header or send a CLOCKSYNC packet, respectively.
+
+See Documentation/ABI/testing/configfs-stp-policy-p_sys-t for more
+details.
