5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Zhiling Zou <redacted>

commit d410cd5303ec59c7cf23dd61423752ce8e9ecb59 upstream.

orangefs_prepare_cdm_array() sizes each client debug keyword buffer
with strcspn(cds_head, " "), but then parses the keyword with %s. The
%s conversion skips leading whitespace, while strcspn() does not.

If a client debug entry starts with a space, the allocation can be sized
for an empty keyword while sscanf() copies the following non-empty token.
This can write past the end of the allocated keyword buffer.

Skip leading spaces before computing the keyword length so the allocation
matches the string parsed by sscanf().

Fixes: f7be4ee07fb7 ("Orangefs: kernel client part 4")
