package/busybox: add upstream gunzip security fix

Fixes the following security issue:

- CVE-2021-28831: decompress_gunzip.c in BusyBox through 1.32.1 mishandles
  the error bit on the huft_build result pointer, with a resultant invalid
  free or segmentation fault, via malformed gzip data.

+Subject: [PATCH] decompress_gunzip: Fix DoS if gzip is corrupt
+
+On certain corrupt gzip files, huft_build will set the error bit on
+the result pointer. If afterwards abort_unzip is called huft_free
+might run into a segmentation fault or an invalid pointer to
+free(p).
+
+In order to mitigate this, we check in huft_free if the error bit
+is set and clear it before the linked list is freed.
