[PATCH] add page_offset to mm.h

[PATCH] add page_offset to mm.h

[Christoph Hellwig]

To convert page->index to a byte index you need to cast it to loff_t
first so it's a 64bit value.  There have been quite a few places that
got it wrong in the kernel.  To make it easier a nice little helper
would be nice, and in fact the NFS code already has it.  Let's move it
to pagemap.h so everyone can use it.
