[PATCH v2 0/4] soc: apple: rtkit: harden syslog shared-buffer handling

[Laxman Acharya Padhya <acharyalaxman8848@gmail.com>]

Split the syslog hardening into focused changes as requested. The first
patch fixes the SYSLOG_INIT reinitialization leak. The second prevents
zero-sized messages and out-of-bounds shared-memory copies. The third
corrects the entry-count boundary, and the fourth rate limits validation
warnings controlled by the coprocessor.

The index-boundary change has not been tested on Apple hardware running
Linux. Asahi m1n1 describes the initialization field as COUNT, consistent
with the kernel's syslog_n_entries name, but patch 3 is kept independent so
it can be reverted without removing the shared-memory bounds protection.

Testing:
  - arm64 GCC build of drivers/soc/apple/rtkit.o with W=1 in Docker
  - scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict on each patch

Changes since v1:
  - inline the one-use shared-memory bounds check
  - use == 0 for the crashlog copy and < 0 for syslog copies
  - split the SYSLOG_INIT leak fix into patch 1
  - split the idx == n_entries change into patch 3
  - make the zero-size guard independent of the leak fix
  - rate limit existing malformed-syslog warnings in patch 4
  - rebase onto upstream commit 0a0d1d55dad5
