Subject: [PATCH 01/25] ext4: remove page offset calculation in ext4_block_zero_page_range()

From: Zhihao Cheng <chengzhihao1@...wei.com>

For bs <= ps scenarios, calculating the offset within the block is
sufficient. For bs > ps, an initial page offset calculation can lead to
incorrect behavior. Thus this redundant calculation has been removed.
