ext4: fix inconsistent between segment fstrim and full fstrim
Suppose we issue two FITRIM ioctls for ranges [0,15] and [16,31] with mininum length of trimmed range set to 8 blocks. If we have say a range of blocks 10-22 free, this range will not be trimmed because it straddles the boundary of the two FITRIM ranges and neither part is big enough. This is a bit surprising to some users that call FITRIM on smaller ranges of blocks to limit impact on the system. Also XFS trims all free space extents that overlap with the specified range so we are inconsistent among filesystems. Let's change ext4_try_to_trim_range() to consider for trimming the whole free space extent that straddles the end of specified range, not just the part of it within the range.
