[PATCH] erofs: avoid infinite loop due to incomplete zstd-compressed data

Currently, the decompression logic incorrectly spins if compressed
data is truncated in crafted (deliberately corrupted) images.

Fixes: 7c35de4df105 ("erofs: Zstandard compression support")
Reported-by: Robert Morris <rtm at csail.mit.edu>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/50958.1761605413@localhost

Actually I suspect multi-shot decompressor lzma may have a similar
issue (but it seems deflate is not), will check later.
