[PATCH v2 02/18] earlycpio.c: Fix the confusing comment of find_cpio_data().

[Tang Chen <tangchen@cn.fujitsu.com>]

The comments of find_cpio_data() says:

  * @offset: When a matching file is found, this is the offset to the
  *          beginning of the cpio. ......

But according to the code,

  dptr = PTR_ALIGN(p + ch[C_NAMESIZE], 4);
  nptr = PTR_ALIGN(dptr + ch[C_FILESIZE], 4);
  ....
  *offset = (long)nptr - (long)data;	/* data is the cpio file */

@offset is the offset of the next file, not the matching file itself.
This is confused and may cause unnecessary waste of time to debug.
So fix it.

v1 -> v2:
As tj suggested, rename @offset to @nextoff which is more clear to
users. And also adjust the new comments.
