[PATCH v8 0/2] bootconfig: targeted fixes for stable

[Josh Law]

Two bug fixes with Fixes tags, split out from the larger cleanup series
(v7 patches 9/15 and 10/15) per Masami's request so they can go
cleanly into bootconfig/fixes and from there into stable.

Changes since v7:
  - Split fixes (this series) from cleanups/improvements into separate
    series per maintainer request, so fixes can go into bootconfig/fixes
    and the rest into bootconfig/for-next.

Bug fixes:
  - Check xbc_init_node() return value in the ':=' override path; a
    bootconfig using ':=' near the 32KB data limit could silently
    retain the old value, meaning a security-relevant boot parameter
    override would not take effect (patch 1).
  - Fix file descriptor leak in tools/bootconfig load_xbc_file() when
    fstat() fails, and preserve errno across close() on that error path
    (patch 2).

Build-tested with both the in-kernel build (lib/bootconfig.o,
init/main.o) and the userspace tools/bootconfig build. All 70
tools/bootconfig test cases pass.
