xfs: fix assertion failure in xfs_vm_write_failed()

Browse source 
In xfs_vm_write_failed(), we evaluate the block_offset of pos with
PAGE_MASK which is an unsigned long.  That is fine on 64-bit platforms
regardless of whether the request pos is 32-bit or 64-bit.  However, on
32-bit platforms the value is 0xfffff000 and so the high 32 bits in it
will be masked off with (pos & PAGE_MASK) for a 64-bit pos.

As a result, the evaluated block_offset is incorrect which will cause
this failure ASSERT(block_offset + from == pos); and potentially pass
the wrong block to xfs_vm_kill_delalloc_range().

In this case, we can get a kernel panic if CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is enabled:

XFS: Assertion failed: block_offset + from == pos, file: fs/xfs/xfs_aops.c, line: 1504

 Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

In order to avoid this, we can evaluate the block_offset of the start
of the page by using shifts rather than masks the mismatch problem.

Thanks Dave Chinner for help finding and fixing this bug.
