6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Cen Zhang (Microsoft) <blbllhy@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit e37b2abca80473e106176e41712a369fd2f72117 ]

In the __xsk_rcv() multi-buffer path, xsk_buff_alloc() is called in a
loop without checking its return value. xsk_buff_can_alloc() only
counts fill queue entries without validating their addresses, so it
can succeed while xsk_buff_alloc() rejects all remaining entries and
returns NULL.

  Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
   0xdffffc0000000000
  KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range
   [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]
  RIP: 0010:__xsk_rcv+0x426/0xc20 (net/xdp/xsk.c:350)
  Call Trace:
   xsk_generic_rcv+0x26d/0x5f0
   xdp_do_generic_redirect+0x3c5/0xcf0
   do_xdp_generic+0x92f/0xe70
   __netif_receive_skb_core.constprop.0+0xf7e/0x2b30

Fix this with a two-stage transaction. First allocate and stage all
buffers required for the packet, recycling all staged buffers with
xsk_buff_free() if any allocation fails. Only after this stage
succeeds, copy the data, reserve the RX descriptors, and release the
buffers in an error-free loop.

Fixes: 804627751b42 ("xsk: add support for AF_XDP multi-buffer on Rx path")
