[PATCH 2.40 1/4] stdio-common: Fix buffer overflow in scanf %mc [BZ #34008]

From: Rocket Ma <[email protected]>

* stdio-common/vfscanf-internal.c: When enlarging allocated buffer with
format %mc or %mC, glibc allocates one byte less, leading to
user-controlled one byte overflow. This commit fixes BZ #34008, or
CVE-2026-5450.
