A contrived zero-length write, for example, by using write(2):
...
ret = write(fd, str, 0);
...
to the "flags" file causes:
BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in flags_write
Write of size 1 at addr ffff888019be7ddf by task writefile/3787
CPU: 4 PID: 3787 Comm: writefile Not tainted 5.16.0-rc7+ #12
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-2 04/01/2014
due to accessing buf one char before its start.
Prevent such out-of-bounds access.
