[PATCH 5.15 044/128] io_uring: zero iocb->ki_pos for stream file types

[ Upstream commit 7b9762a5e8837b92a027d58d396a9d27f6440c36 ]

io_uring supports using offset == -1 for using the current file position,
and we read that in as part of read/write command setup. For the non-iter
read/write types we pass in NULL for the position pointer, but for the
iter types we should not be passing any anything but 0 for the position
for a stream.

Clear kiocb->ki_pos if the file is a stream, don't leave it as -1. If we
do, then the request will error with -ESPIPE.

Fixes: ba04291eb66e ("io_uring: allow use of offset == -1 to mean file position")
