ext4: improve llseek error handling for overly large seek offsets
The llseek system call should return EINVAL if passed a seek offset
which results in a write error. What this maximum offset should be
depends on whether or not the huge_file file system feature is set,
and whether or not the file is extent based or not.
If the file has no "EXT4_EXTENTS_FL" flag, the maximum size which can be
written (write systemcall) is different from the maximum size which can be
sought (lseek systemcall).
For example, the following 2 cases demonstrates the differences
between the maximum size which can be written, versus the seek offset
allowed by the llseek system call:
#1: mkfs.ext3 <dev>; mount -t ext4 <dev>
#2: mkfs.ext3 <dev>; tune2fs -Oextent,huge_file <dev>; mount -t ext4 <dev>
Table. the max file size which we can write or seek
at each filesystem feature tuning and file flag setting

The differences exist because ext4 has 2 maxbytes which are sb->s_maxbytes
(= extent-mapped maxbytes) and EXT4_SB(sb)->s_bitmap_maxbytes (= block-mapped
maxbytes). Although generic_file_llseek uses only extent-mapped maxbytes.
(llseek of ext4_file_operations is generic_file_llseek which uses
sb->s_maxbytes.)
Therefore we create ext4 llseek function which uses 2 maxbytes.
The new own function originates from generic_file_llseek().
If the file flag, "EXT4_EXTENTS_FL" is not set, the function alters
inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes into EXT4_SB(inode->i_sb)->s_bitmap_maxbytes.
