The patch itself looks good and doesn't change the behavior while it
simplifies the code. But I think that it identifies an old error in the
code. It is eye-catching the the return value of lookup_extent_mapping()
is not used. Therefore the call can either be removed or it has
side-effects which are required. lookup_extent_mapping() has the
side-effect to increment the extent map's ref count that it returns. I
cannot believe that this incremented ref count is correct when the
extent map itself is not used. IMO, either the EIO and ignoring the
returned extent map is wrong, or the incremented ref count is wrong.

Thank you for your review.
I think lookup_extent_mapping() using failed_start is not needed.
So, I will remake my patch later.

Thanks,
Tsutomu
