That can't be right.  fpage->index is in units of pages and thp_size is
in units of bytes.  I wish C had a better type system.
I think you meant:

		off_cur = fpage->index + thp_nr_pages(fpage);

Also, I think this loop would read better as ...

	for (index = off_start; index < off_end; index += nr_pages) {
		struct page *fpage = pagecache_get_page(mapping, index,
						FGP_ENTRY | FGP_HEAD, 0);
		nr_pages = 1;
		if (xa_is_value(fpage) || !fpage)
			continue;
		if (!is_transparent_hugepage(fpage))
			goto next;
		total++;
		nr_pages = thp_nr_pages(fpage);
...
