xwayland: fix CVE-2025-49178

A flaw was found in the X server's request handling. Non-zero 'bytes to ignore'
in a client's request can cause the server to skip processing another client's
request, potentially leading to a denial of service.

+Subject: [PATCH] os: Account for bytes to ignore when sharing input buffer
+
+When reading requests from the clients, the input buffer might be shared
+and used between different clients.
+
+If a given client sends a full request with non-zero bytes to ignore,
+the bytes to ignore may still be non-zero even though the request is
+full, in which case the buffer could be shared with another client who's
+request will not be processed because of those bytes to ignore, leading
+to a possible hang of the other client request.
+
+To avoid the issue, make sure we have zero bytes to ignore left in the
+input request when sharing the input buffer with another client.
