Subject: [PATCH 5.9 175/255] afs: Fix afs_write_end() when called with copied == 0 [ver #3]

From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 3ad216ee73abc554ed8f13f4f8b70845a7bef6da ]

When afs_write_end() is called with copied == 0, it tries to set the
dirty region, but there's no way to actually encode a 0-length region in
the encoding in page->private.

"0,0", for example, indicates a 1-byte region at offset 0.  The maths
miscalculates this and sets it incorrectly.

Fix it to just do nothing but unlock and put the page in this case.  We
don't actually need to mark the page dirty as nothing presumably
changed.

Fixes: 65dd2d6072d3 ("afs: Alter dirty range encoding in page->private")
