Sorry for not spotting this in earlier revisions, but this is wrong.
Before, find_lock_entries() would go up to (end - 1) and then the
index++ at the end of the loop would increment index to "end", causing
the loop to terminate.  Now we don't increment index any more, so the
condition is wrong.

I suggest just removing the 'index < end" half of the condition.

Similarly here.

While this one had the check removed already, so is fine ;-)
