Actually debug prints have shown that I do indeed sometimes hit the case 
where I need to call btrfs_next_item(). So the loop has to stay.

I thought about this a bit more. btrfs_map_block() also gets length 
passed in by reference, so it makes sense to do as well in 
set_io_stripe() and btrfs_get_raid_extent_offset() IMHO.
