In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exfat: fix the new buffer was not zeroed before writing
Before writing, if a buffer_head marked as new, its data must
be zeroed, otherwise uninitialized data in the page cache will
be written.
So this commit uses folio_zero_new_buffers() to zero the new
buffers before ->write_end().
