description:
HTTP/2: fixed segfault on DATA frames after 400 errors.

If 400 errors were redirected to an upstream server using the error_page
directive, DATA frames from the client might cause segmentation fault
due to null pointer dereference.  The bug had appeared in 6989:2c4dbcd6f2e4
(1.13.0).

Fix is to skip such frames in ngx_http_v2_state_read_data() (similarly
to 7561:9f1f9d6e056a).  With the fix, behaviour of 400 errors in HTTP/2
is now similar to one in HTTP/1.x, that is, nginx doesn't try to read the
request body.

Note that proxying 400 errors, as well as other early stage errors, to
upstream servers might not be a good idea anyway.  These errors imply
that reading and processing of the request (and the request headers)
wasn't complete, and proxying of such incomplete request might lead to
various errors.
