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

commit 72d271a7baa7062cb27e774ac37c5459c6d20e22 upstream.
Userspace generally expects APIs that return -EMSGSIZE to allow for them to adjust their buffer size and retry the operation. However, the fscontext log would previously clear the message even in the -EMSGSIZE case.
Given that it is very cheap for us to check whether the buffer is too small before we remove the message from the ring buffer, let's just do that instead. While we're at it, refactor some fscontext_read() into a separate helper to make the ring buffer logic a bit easier to read.
