[OE-core] [PATCH 1/1] glibc/0029-fix-getmnt-empty-lines.patch: fix getmntent()

When confronted with an empty line, getmntent() can underrun
a buffer, possibly doing very strange things if it finds
additional space/tab characters. Backport the upstream fix.

+Subject: [PATCH] getmntent: fix memory corruption w/blank lines [BZ #18887]
+
+The fix for BZ #17273 introduced a single byte of memory corruption when
+the line is entirely blank.  It would walk back past the start of the
+buffer if the heap happened to be 0x20 or 0x09 and then write a NUL byte.
+       buffer = '\n';
+       end_ptr = buffer;
+       while (end_ptr[-1] == ' ' || end_ptr[-1] == '\t')
+       	     end_ptr--;
+	     *end_ptr = '\0';
+
+Fix that and rework the tests.  Adding the testcase for BZ #17273 to the
+existing \040 parser does not really make sense as it's unrelated, and
+leads to confusing behavior: it implicitly relies on the new entry being
+longer than the previous entry (since it just rewinds the FILE*).  Split
+it out into its own dedicated testcase instead.
+
+The original patch is at link https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;a=patch;h=b0e805fa0d6fea33745952df7b7f5442ca4c374f.
+Only code to mntent_r.c is kept in this patch, Change log, NEWS, Makefile, and test cases are excluded.
+
+Upstream-status: upstreamed to 2.23
