If we hit the UINT_MAX limit of bio->bi_iter.bi_size and so we are anyway not merging this page in this bio, then it make sense to make same_page also as false before returning. Without this patch, we hit below WARNING in iomap. This mostly happens with very large memory system and / or after tweaking vm dirty threshold params to delay writeback of dirty data.

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.
