tmpfs: zero unused folio tail for long symlinks
shmem_symlink() marks the entire folio uptodate after copying only the
NUL-terminated link target. The remainder of the freshly allocated folio
is left uninitialized.
Reclaim may pass the whole folio to a swap compressor. KMSAN observed
sw842_compress() computing a checksum over the uninitialized tail. If the
folio is written to a swap device, those bytes can also leave the kernel.
Zero the remainder of the folio before marking it uptodate and dirty.
