      vfs: export lseek_execute() to modules · 46a1c2c7

      For those file systems(btrfs/ext4/ocfs2/tmpfs) that support
      SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE functions, we end up handling the similar
      matter in lseek_execute() to update the current file offset
      to the desired offset if it is valid, ceph also does the
      simliar things at ceph_llseek().
      
      To reduce the duplications, this patch make lseek_execute()
      public accessible so that we can call it directly from the
      underlying file systems.
      
      Thanks Dave Chinner for this suggestion.
      
      [AV: call it vfs_setpos(), don't bring the removed 'inode' argument back]
      
      v2->v1:
      - Add kernel-doc comments for lseek_execute()
      - Call lseek_execute() in ceph->llseek()
