[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.10 062/121] gpiolib: cdev: Add INIT_KFIFO() for linereq events

[Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Kent Gibson <warthog618@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 35d848e7a1cbba2649ed98cf58e0cdc7ee560c7a ]

The initialisation of the linereq events kfifo relies on the struct being
zeroed and a subsequent call to kfifo_alloc().  The call to kfifo_alloc()
is deferred until edge detection is first enabled for the linereq.  If the
kfifo is inadvertently accessed before the call to kfifo_alloc(), as was
the case in a recently discovered bug, it behaves as a FIFO of size 1 with
an element size of 0, so writes and reads to the kfifo appear successful
but copy no actual data.

As a defensive measure, initialise the kfifo with INIT_KFIFO() when the
events kfifo is constructed.  This initialises the kfifo element size
and zeroes its data pointer, so any inadvertant access prior to the
kfifo_alloc() call will trigger an oops.
