Filipe Manana 6ce6ba5344 btrfs: use a single argument for extent offset in backref walking functions
The interface for find_parent_nodes() has two extent offset related
arguments:

1) One u64 pointer argument for the extent offset;

2) One boolean argument to tell if the extent offset should be ignored or
   not.

These are confusing, becase the extent offset pointer can be NULL and in
some cases callers pass a NULL value as a way to tell the backref walking
code to ignore offsets in file extent items (and simply consider all file
extent items that point to the target data extent).

The boolean argument was added in commit c995ab3cda ("btrfs: add a flag
to iterate_inodes_from_logical to find all extent refs for uncompressed
extents"), but it was never really necessary, it was enough if it could
find a way to get a NULL value passed to the "extent_item_pos" argument of
find_parent_nodes(). The arguments are also passed to functions called
by find_parent_nodes() and respective helper functions, which further
makes everything more complicated than needed.

Then we have several backref walking related functions that end up calling
find_parent_nodes(), either directly or through some other function that
they call, and for many we have to use an "extent_item_pos" (u64) argument
and a boolean "ignore_offset" argument too.

This is confusing and not really necessary. So use a single argument to
specify the extent offset, as a simple u64 and not as a pointer, but
using a special value of (u64)-1, defined as a documented constant, to
indicate when the extent offset should be ignored.

This is also preparation work for the upcoming patches in the series that
add other arguments to find_parent_nodes() and other related functions
that use it.

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 Restructured Text 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.
