Summary
netfs: Fix read abandonment during retry
Details

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

netfs: Fix read abandonment during retry

Under certain circumstances, all the remaining subrequests from a read request will get abandoned during retry. The abandonment process expects the 'subreq' variable to be set to the place to start abandonment from, but it doesn't always have a useful value (it will be uninitialised on the first pass through the loop and it may point to a deleted subrequest on later passes).

Fix the first jump to "abandon:" to set subreq to the start of the first subrequest expected to need retry (which, in this abandonment case, turned out unexpectedly to no longer have NEED_RETRY set).

Also clear the subreq pointer after discarding superfluous retryable subrequests to cause an oops if we do try to access it.
