Commit a48b73eca4ce ("btrfs: fix potential deadlock in the search
ioctl") addressed a lockdep warning by pre-faulting the user pages and
attempting the copy_to_user_nofault() in an infinite loop. On
architectures like arm64 with MTE, an access may fault within a page at
a location different from what fault_in_writeable() probed. Since the
sk_offset is rewound to the previous struct btrfs_ioctl_search_header
boundary, there is no guaranteed forward progress and search_ioctl() may
live-lock.

Request a 'min_size' of (*buf_size - sk_offset) from
fault_in_writeable() to check this range for sub-page faults.
