Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to avoid updating zero-sized extent in extent cache
As syzbot reported:
F2FS-fs (loop0): __update_extent_tree_range: extent len is zero, type: 0, extent [0, 0, 0], age [0, 0] ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/extent_cache.c:678!

In error path of f2fs_zero_range(), it may add a zero-sized extent into extent cache, it should be avoided.
