Thank you Ackerley for finding this!

When I read the description of page_cache_next_miss(), I assumed

	present = page_cache_next_miss(mapping, index, 1) != index;

would tell us if there was a page at index in the cache.

However, when looking closer at the code it does not check for a page
at index, but rather starts looking at index+1.  Perhaps that is why
it is named next?

Matthew, I think the use of the above statement was your suggestion.
And you know the xarray code better than anyone.  I just want to make
sure page_cache_next_miss is operating as designed/expected.  If so,
then the changes suggested here make sense.

In addition, the same code is in hugetlbfs_pagecache_present and will
have this same issue.
