ext4: correctly handle queries for metadata mappings

Browse source 
Currently, our handling of metadata is _ambiguous_ in some scenarios,
that is, we end up returning unknown if the range only covers the
mapping partially.

For example, in the following case:

$ xfs_io -c fsmap -d

  0: 254:16 [0..7]: static fs metadata 8
  1: 254:16 [8..15]: special 102:1 8
  2: 254:16 [16..5127]: special 102:2 5112
  3: 254:16 [5128..5255]: special 102:3 128
  4: 254:16 [5256..5383]: special 102:4 128
  5: 254:16 [5384..70919]: inodes 65536
  6: 254:16 [70920..70967]: unknown 48
  ...

$ xfs_io -c fsmap -d 24 33

  0: 254:16 [24..39]: unknown 16  <--- incomplete reporting

$ xfs_io -c fsmap -d 24 33  (With patch)

    0: 254:16 [16..5127]: special 102:2 5112

This is because earlier in ext4_getfsmap_meta_helper, we end up ignoring
any extent that starts before our queried range, but overlaps it. While
the man page [1] is a bit ambiguous on this, this fix makes the output
make more sense since we are anyways returning an "unknown" extent. This
is also consistent to how XFS does it:

$ xfs_io -c fsmap -d

  ...
  6: 254:16 [104..127]: free space 24
  7: 254:16 [128..191]: inodes 64
  ...

$ xfs_io -c fsmap -d 137 150

  0: 254:16 [128..191]: inodes 64   <-- full extent returned
