ext4_find_unwritten_pgoff() does not properly handle a situation when
starting index is in the middle of a page and blocksize < pagesize. The
following command shows the bug on filesystem with 1k blocksize:
xfs_io -f -c "falloc 0 4k" \
-c "pwrite 1k 1k" \
-c "pwrite 3k 1k" \
-c "seek -a -r 0" foo
In this example, neither lseek(fd, 1024, SEEK_HOLE) nor lseek(fd, 2048,
SEEK_DATA) will return the correct result.
Fix the problem by neglecting buffers in a page before starting offset.

This is an easy fix for the SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA bug Andreas found. Longer
term we want to move ext4 to use page_cache_seek_hole_data() however for
stable backporting this is more suitable.
