The 'end_byte' parameter of filemap_range_has_page is required to be
inclusive, so follow the rule.

This looks correct to me:

I wish we'd kill these stupid range calling conventions, though - 
offset + len is a lot more intuitive, and we already use it very
widely all over the kernel.

Ditto

Wholeheartedly agree on that, it's a horrible interface that goes
counter to the whole "easy to use, hard to misuse" mantra.

It has its own problems though; you have to check that offset + len -
1 doesn't wrap past zero.  Really, it's the transition from (offset,
len) to (min, max) that needs to be avoided as much as possible within
a subsystem.
