Subject: [PATCH] smb: client: discard post-EOF pagecache when extending a file
 via zero range

smb3_zero_range() removed the pagecache only for the range being zeroed,
so when it extends the file the folio straddling the old EOF - which may
hold data dirtied past EOF through an mmap - was never dropped and became
visible as file content once the file was extended.

Lower the discard boundary to the smaller of the zero-range offset and the
old EOF.

Fixes: 72c419d9b073 ("cifs: fix smb3_zero_range so it can expand the file-size when required")
