Commite3ec0fe944("hostfs: Convert hostfs_read_folio() to use a folio") simplified hostfs_read_folio(), but in the process of converting to using folios natively also mis-used the folio_zero_tail() function due to the very confusing API of that function. Very arguably it's folio_zero_tail() API itself that is buggy, since it would make more sense (and the documentation kind of implies) that the third argument would be the pointer to the beginning of the folio buffer. But no, the third argument to folio_zero_tail() is where we should start zeroing the tail (even if we already also pass in the offset separately as the second argument). So fix the hostfs caller, and we can leave any folio_zero_tail() sanity cleanup for later.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
