Bump version to 5.14.0-687.5.4

Refresh the dirtyfrag backport to upstream v5 and add the cifs.spnego
hardening patch.

  1102-net-skbuff-propagate-shared-frag-marker.patch
    Refreshed from upstream v3 to v5
    (https://lore.kernel.org/all/ageeJfJHwgzmKXbh@v4bel/). The v5
    series adds two skb_segment() hunks on top of v3: it folds
    frag_skb-> flags into nskb on the per-iteration flag merge, and
    fills the marker again when the inner switch rebinds frag_skb to
    a list_skb on head_skb-frags exhaustion. The other v5 site
    (tcp_clone_payload()) does not exist in 5.14 and is omitted.
    skb_try_coalesce() hunk is retained as in v3/v4 because the
    upstream commit that dropped it (f84eca581739) is only partially
    backported in 5.14 -- its skb_split() half is present, but the
    skb_try_coalesce() half is missing.

  1105-smb-client-reject-userspace-cifs.spnego-descriptions.patch
    Upstream commit 3da1fdf4efbc verbatim. Refuses userspace-created
    cifs.spnego keys via request_key(2)/add_key(2); only kernel CIFS
    using the private spnego_cred may create them. cifs.upcall
    treats the key description as kernel-originating
    pid/uid/creduid/upcall_target -- without this fence, userspace
    can spoof those fields.

All four patches verified to apply with patch -p1 -F0 against the
5.14.0-687.5.1.el9_8 source tree (no fuzz, no rejects).

Subject: [PATCH AlmaLinux 9] net: skbuff: propagate shared-frag marker through frag-transfer helpers
Backport of upstream v3 patch posted at

(sibling to upstream commit f4c50a4034e6 "xfrm: esp: avoid in-place
decrypt on shared skb frags").
Three frag-transfer helpers in net/core/skbuff.c
(__pskb_copy_fclone(), skb_try_coalesce(), skb_shift()) and the
GRO accumulator path in net/core/gro.c (skb_gro_receive()) and the
UDP GRO list helper in net/ipv4/udp_offload.c
(skb_gro_receive_list(), kept as a static helper on AlmaLinux 9)
fail to propagate the SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG bit in skb_shinfo()->flags
when moving frag descriptors from source to destination. As a
result, the destination skb keeps a reference to the same
externally-owned or page-cache-backed pages while reporting

kept as a static helper on AlmaLinux 9) fail to propagate the
SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG bit in skb_shinfo()->flags when moving frag
descriptors from source to destination. In addition, skb_segment()
folds only head_skb's flag into nskb on the per-iteration flag
merge, and the inner switch that rebinds frag_skb to list_skb on
head_skb-frags exhaustion does not fold the new frag_skb's flag
into nskb. As a result, the destination skb keeps a reference to
the same externally-owned or page-cache-backed pages while reporting
skb_has_shared_frag() as false.

Tree adaptation:

* Upstream v5 places skb_gro_receive_list() in net/core/gro.c.
AlmaLinux 9 still keeps it as a static helper in
net/ipv4/udp_offload.c (it has not been promoted to a global
GRO helper in this tree). Apply the propagation hunk there
instead.
* Upstream skb_shift() uses skb_len_add() helpers (introduced in
v5.16); AlmaLinux 9 still has the open-coded
`skb->len -= shiftlen; ...` block. The insertion point (right
after both ip_summed assignments) is the same.
* Upstream tcp_clone_payload() was added in v6.5 (commit
808599b88c93); 5.14 has no such helper, so the corresponding v5
hunk is omitted.

Subject: smb: client: reject userspace cifs.spnego descriptions
cifs.spnego key descriptions contain authority-bearing fields such as
pid, uid, creduid, and upcall_target that cifs.upcall treats as
kernel-originating inputs. However, userspace can also create keys of
this type through request_key(2) or add_key(2), allowing those fields to
be supplied without CIFS origin.
Only accept cifs.spnego descriptions while CIFS is using its private
spnego_cred to request the key.
Fixes: f1d662a7d5e5 ("[CIFS] Add upcall files for cifs to use spnego/kerberos")
