filemap: find_lock_entries() now updates start offset
Patch series "Rework find_get_entries() and find_lock_entries()", v3.
Originally the callers of find_get_entries() and find_lock_entries() were
keeping track of the start index themselves as they traverse the search
range.
This resulted in hacky code such as in shmem_undo_range():
index = folio->index + folio_nr_pages(folio) - 1;
where the - 1 is only present to stay in the right spot after incrementing
index later. This sort of calculation was also being done on every folio
despite not even using index later within that function.
These patches change find_get_entries() and find_lock_entries() to
calculate the new index instead of leaving it to the callers so we can
avoid all these complications.
This patch (of 2):
Initially, find_lock_entries() was being passed in the start offset as a
value. That left the calculation of the offset to the callers. This led
to complexity in the callers trying to keep track of the index.
Now find_lock_entries() takes in a pointer to the start offset and updates
the value to be directly after the last entry found. If no entry is
found, the offset is not changed. This gets rid of multiple hacky
calculations that kept track of the start offset.
