CVE-2021-47496

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

net/tls: Fix flipped sign in tlserrabort() calls

sk->sk_err appears to expect a positive value, a convention that ktls doesn't always follow and that leads to memory corruption in other code. For instance,

[kworker]
tls_encrypt_done(..., err=<negative error from crypto request>)
  tls_err_abort(.., err)
    sk->sk_err = err;

[task]
splice_from_pipe_feed
  ...
    tls_sw_do_sendpage
      if (sk->sk_err) {
        ret = -sk->sk_err;  // ret is positive

splice_from_pipe_feed (continued)
  ret = actor(...)  // ret is still positive and interpreted as bytes
                    // written, resulting in underflow of buf->len and
                    // sd->len, leading to huge buf->offset and bogus
                    // addresses computed in later calls to actor()

Fix all tlserrabort() callers to pass a negative error code consistently and centralize the error-prone sign flip there, throwing in a warning to catch future misuse and uninlining the function so it really does only warn once.
