DFLTCC deflate with Z_NO_FLUSH might generate a corrupted stream when the
output buffer is not large enough to fit all the deflate output at once.
The problem takes place on closing the deflate block since flush_pending()
might leave some output bits not written. Similar problem for software
deflate with Z_BLOCK flush option (not supported by kernel zlib deflate)
has been fixed a while ago in userspace zlib but the fix never got to the
kernel.
Now flush_pending() flushes the bit buffer before copying out the byte
buffer, in order to really flush as much as possible.
Currently there are no users of DFLTCC deflate with Z_NO_FLUSH option in
the kernel so the problem remained hidden for a while.
This commit is based on the old zlib commit:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
