[PATCH 6.12 244/567] SUNRPC: svcauth_gss: avoid NULL deref on zero length gss_token in gss_read_proxy_verf

From: Joshua Rogers <linux@joshua.hu>

commit d4b69a6186b215d2dc1ebcab965ed88e8d41768d upstream.

A zero length gss_token results in pages == 0 and in_token->pages[0]
is NULL. The code unconditionally evaluates
page_address(in_token->pages[0]) for the initial memcpy, which can
dereference NULL even when the copy length is 0. Guard the first
memcpy so it only runs when length > 0.
