btrfs: fix too long loop when defragging a 1 byte file



When attempting to defrag a file with a single byte, we can end up in a
too long loop, which is nearly infinite because at btrfs_defrag_file()
we end up with the variable last_byte assigned with a value of
18446744073709551615 (which is (u64)-1). The problem comes from the fact
we end up doing:

    last_byte = round_up(last_byte, fs_info->sectorsize) - 1;

So if last_byte was assigned 0, which is i_size - 1, we underflow and
end up with the value 18446744073709551615.

This is trivial to reproduce and the following script triggers it:

  $ cat test.sh
  #!/bin/bash

  DEV=/dev/sdj
  MNT=/mnt/sdj

  mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV
  mount $DEV $MNT

  echo -n "X" > $MNT/foobar

  btrfs filesystem defragment $MNT/foobar

  umount $MNT

So fix this by not decrementing last_byte by 1 before doing the sector
size round up. Also, to make it easier to follow, make the round up right
after computing last_byte.
