[PATCH 7.1.y 1/2] ext4: track partial-zero outcome per edge in ext4_zero_partial_blocks()

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@huawei.com>

[ Upstream commit 4c1f6931395ad026415cbdb924ffc240f86eb557 ]

Replace the single bool did_zero output of ext4_zero_partial_blocks()
with a bitmask that records which edge (start, end, or both in the
single-block case) was actually partial-zeroed. This allows callers to
distinguish which edges have been zeroed, preparing for unaligned
FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES handling in later patches.
