[PATCH v2] btrfs: fix a potential hole-punching failure

In commit d77815461f04 ("btrfs: Avoid trucating page or punching hole
in a already existed hole."), existed holes can be skipped by calling
find_first_non_hole() to adjust *start and *len. However, if the given
len is invalid and large, when an EXTENT_MAP_HOLE extent is found, the
*len will not be set to zero because (em->start + em->len) is less than
(*start + *len). Then the ret will be 1 but the *len will not be set to
0. The propagated non-zero ret will result in fallocate failure.

In the while-loop of btrfs_replace_file_extents(), len is not updated
every time before it calls find_first_non_hole(). That is, after
btrfs_drop_extents() successfully drops the last non-hole file extent,
it may fail with -ENOSPC when attempting to drop a file extent item
representing a hole. The problem can happen. After it calls
find_first_non_hole(), the cur_offset will be adjusted to be larger
than or equal to end. However, since the len is not set to zero. The
break-loop condition (ret && !len) will not meet. After it leaves the
while-loop, fallocate will return 1, which is an unexpected return
value.

We're not able to construct a reproducible way to let
btrfs_drop_extents() fail with -ENOSPC after it drops the last non-hole
file extent but with remaining holes left. However, it's quite easy to
fix. We just need to update and check the len every time before we call
find_first_non_hole(). To make the while loop more readable, we also
pull the variable updates to the bottom of loop like this:
while (cur_offset < end) {
...
// update cur_offset & len
// advance cur_offset & len in hole-punching case if needed
}
