  exfat: use exfat_chain_advance helper (2026-04-03 22:41:10 +0900)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Description for this pull request:
 - Implement FALLOC_FL_ALLOCATE_RANGE to add support for preallocating
   clusters without zeroing, helping to reduce file fragmentation.
 - Add a unified block readahead helper for FAT chain conversion, bitmap
   allocation, and directory entry lookups.
 - Optimize exfat_chain_cont_cluster() by caching buffer heads to minimize
   mark_buffer_dirty() and mirroring overhead during NO_FAT_CHAIN to
   FAT_CHAIN conversion.
 - Switch to truncate_inode_pages_final() in evict_inode() to prevent
   BUG_ON caused by shadow entries during reclaim.
 - Fix a 32-bit truncation bug in directory entry calculations by ensuring
   proper bitwise coercion.
 - Fix sb->s_maxbytes calculation to correctly reflect the maximum possible
   volume size for a given cluster size, resolving xfstests generic/213.
 - Introduced exfat_cluster_walk() helper to traverse FAT chains by
   a specified step, handling both ALLOC_NO_FAT_CHAIN and ALLOC_FAT_CHAIN
   modes.
 - Introduced exfat_chain_advance() helper to advance an exfat_chain
   structure, updating both the current cluster and remaining size.
 - Remove dead assignments and fix Smatch warnings.
