[PATCH] io_uring/fdinfo: ignore IORING_CQE_F_32 in last CQ array slot

[Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>]

A cqe32 entry spans two CQ array slots, so the last CQ array slot can't
contain a cqe32 entry. If the CQ tail points at the last CQ array slot and
the kernel wants to write a cqe32 entry, it uses io_fill_nop_cqe() to pad
the last CQ array slot with a dummy entry and make the tail wrap around.

However, malicious userspace can directly set IORING_CQE_F_32 on the last
CQ array slot, causing __io_uring_show_fdinfo() to read the second cqe32
half from beyond the CQ array. Change __io_uring_show_fdinfo() to
explicitly ignore the IORING_CQE_F_32 flag in this case.

This is not a real bugfix, just tightening the code a bit, because:

1. the number of CQE slots is always a power of 2, see io_uring_fill_params
2. the ring_region region consists of:
    - a 64-byte header
    - pow(2, N) CQE slots (each 0x10 bytes)
    - optionally, the SQ array
3. the ring_region size must be page-aligned because it is shared memory

Together, these properties imply that the last CQE slot can't be close
before the end of a page, so the "out-of-bounds" data is
