From: Younes Akhouayri <[email protected]>

Coherent<T>::write_to_slice() calculates a zero-byte copy when the file
offset is beyond the allocation, but still calls
UserSliceWriter::write_dma(). The latter rejects offsets beyond the
allocation even when the copy length is zero, so a debugfs read past EOF
returns -ERANGE.

Return before calling write_dma() when the offset is at or beyond the
allocation, matching simple_read_from_buffer() EOF semantics.

Changes in v2:
- Use ordinary subtraction after the explicit EOF check, which makes
  underflow impossible.
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/[email protected]
