I think the better way to handle this is

if (start >= sb->depth)
	start = 0;

Since the sbitmap may have gotten resized since the last time the user
called this and cached their start value.

Honestly I prefer your original patch with a comment on depth += nr. I'd
be happy with the following incremental patch on top of your original v4
patch.
