When writing to procfs via `proc_write` fails, we try to chunk the
buffer into smaller pieces to work around that issue. When searching for
the next location to split the buffer, though, we can underflow the
buffer in case the current offset is smaller than `LINELEN`. Fix the
issue by passing `cookie->offset` instead of `LINELEN` into `memrchr` in
case `cookie->offset` is smaller than `LINELEN`.
This bug can be triggered on musl-based systems, e.g. by executing
$ sysctl kernel.printk_ratelimit=1000000000000000
As the value is out-of-range, `write` will return an error and set
`errno` to `EINVAL`. As we're only trying to write a smallish buffer
with a length smaller than `LINELEN` and as the buffer does not contain
any newlines, the call
token = (char*)memrchr(cookie->buf+offset, '\n', LINELEN);
will underflow the buffer and crash the program.
