Ideally this should never occur, but there are buggy devices and some might have a report field with size set to zero; we shouldn't reject the report or the device just because of that. Instead, harden the s32ton() routine so that it returns a reasonable result instead of crashing when it is called with the number of bits set to 0 -- the same as what snto32() does.

However, commit 95d2b9f693ff ("Revert "smb: client: fix TCP timers deadlock after rmmod"") restored the manual socket refcount manipulation without adapting to this new mechanism, causing a memory leak. The issue can be reproduced by[1]: 1. Creating a network namespace 2. Mounting and Unmounting CIFS within the namespace 3.

The CIFS code manually converts kernel sockets to user sockets by setting sk_net_refcnt=1, but doesn't call the corresponding net_passive_dec().
