[PATCH] sendfile calls lock_verify_area with wrong parameters

[Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>]

sendfile supports reading from a given start offset for in_file, like 
pread. But for the locks_verify_area call, in_file->f_pos is always 
used, even if a start offset is used. Result: wrong area is checked for 
mandatory locks.

Fix attached.
