When afs_write_end() is called with copied == 0, it tries to set the dirty region, but there's no way to actually encode a 0-length region in the encoding in page->private. "0,0", for example, indicates a 1-byte region at offset 0. The maths miscalculates this and sets it incorrectly. Fix it to just do nothing but unlock and put the page in this case. We don't actually need to mark the page dirty as nothing presumably changed.
