When pgoff_t index is 32bit, sector_t block is 64bit, need check if block number is too big. If block is bigger than (4Gb * PAGE_SIZE), index becomes a wrong value. Commit e5657933863f43cc6bb76a54d659303dafaa9e58 wants to do this. But it gives an uncorrect check. I think block != index << sizebits is correct. And it can detect such issue above.
