[PATCH] psi: Fix OOB write when writing 0 bytes to psi files

From: Suren Baghdasaryan
Date: Mon Feb 03 2020 - 16:22:23 EST


Issuing write() with count parameter set to 0 on any file under
/proc/pressure/ will cause an OOB write because of the access to
buf[buf_size-1] when NUL-termination is performed. Fix this by checking
for buf_size to be non-zero.
