lib/zlib: DFLTCC deflate does not write all available bits for Z_NO_FLUSH
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.
