Subject: [PATCH] smb: client: discard post-EOF pagecache when extending a file
 via clone range

cifs_remap_file_range() discarded the pagecache only for the folios
overlapping the destination region, so when a clone extends the file the
folio straddling the old EOF - which may hold data dirtied past EOF
through an mmap - was never dropped and became visible as file content
once the file was extended.

Start the discard at the smaller of fstart and the old EOF.  i_size is
still old here, so nothing past the old EOF is flushed to the server.
