Currently find_first_clear_extent_bit always returns a range whose starting value is >= passed 'start'. This implicit trimming behavior is somewhat subtle and an implementation detail. Instead, this patch modifies the function such that now it always returns the range which contains passed 'start' and has the given bits unset. This range could either be due to presence of existing records which contains 'start' but have the bits unset or because there are no records that contain the given starting offset. This patch also adds test cases which cover find_first_clear_extent_bit since they were missing up until now.

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.
