    dax: fix offset overflow in dax_io · 02395435

    This isn't functionally apparent for some reason, but
    when we test io at extreme offsets at the end of the loff_t
    rang, such as in fstests xfs/071, the calculation of
    "max" in dax_io() can be wrong due to pos + size overflowing.
    
    For example,
    
    # xfs_io -c "pwrite 9223372036854771712 512" /mnt/test/file
    
    enters dax_io with:
    
    start 0x7ffffffffffff000
    end   0x7ffffffffffff200
    
    and the rounded up "size" variable is 0x1000.  This yields:
    
    pos + size 0x8000000000000000 (overflows loff_t)
           end 0x7ffffffffffff200
    
    Due to the overflow, the min() function picks the wrong
    value for the "max" variable, and when we send (max - pos)
    into i.e. copy_from_iter_pmem() it is also the wrong value.
    
    This somehow(tm) gets magically absorbed without incident,
    probably because iter->count is correct.  But it seems best
    to fix it up properly by comparing the two values as
    unsigned.
