Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.6 11/19] ext4: treat end of range as exclusive in ext4_zero_range()

From: Ojaswin Mujoo <ojaswin@...ux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 92573369144f40397e8514440afdf59f24905b40 ]

The call to filemap_write_and_wait_range() assumes the range passed to be
inclusive, so fix the call to make sure we follow that.
