Yes, that looks more correct. However, can we be smart and not bother
setting the minimum of end and srcmap.offset + srcmap.length if it is
not required? ie in situations where end coincides with block boundary.
 Or if srcmap.length falls short, until the last block boundary of
iomap? 

I did think about this scenario. This case is specific to CoW and
thought this is best handled by filesystem's iomap_begin(). If this
goes in, the filesystems would have to "falsify" srcmap length
information to maximize the amount of I/O that goes in one iteration.
