From: NeilBrown When looking for pages that need cleaning we skip pages that don't have BITMAP_PAGE_CLEAN set. But if it is the 'current' page we will have cleared that bit ourselves, so skipping it is wrong. So: move the 'skip this page' inside 'if page != lastpage'. Also fold call of file_page_offset into the one place where the value (bit) is used.
