This patch rewrites badblocks_check() with similar coding style as
_badblocks_set() and _badblocks_clear(). The only difference is bad
blocks checking may handle multiple ranges in bad tables now.
If a checking range covers multiple bad blocks range in bad block table,
like the following condition (C is the checking range, E1, E2, E3 are
three bad block ranges in bad block table),
+------------------------------------+
| C |
+------------------------------------+
+----+ +----+ +----+
| E1 | | E2 | | E3 |
+----+ +----+ +----+
The improved badblocks_check() algorithm will divide checking range C
into multiple parts, and handle them in 7 runs of a while-loop,
+--+ +----+ +----+ +----+ +----+ +----+ +----+
|C1| | C2 | | C3 | | C4 | | C5 | | C6 | | C7 |
+--+ +----+ +----+ +----+ +----+ +----+ +----+
+----+ +----+ +----+
| E1 | | E2 | | E3 |
+----+ +----+ +----+
And the start LBA and length of range E1 will be set as first_bad and
bad_sectors for the caller.
The return value rule is consistent for multiple ranges. For example if
there are following bad block ranges in bad block table,
Index No. Start Len Ack
0 400 20 1
1 500 50 1
2 650 20 0
the return value, first_bad, bad_sectors by calling badblocks_set() with
different checking range can be the following values,
Checking Start, Len Return Value first_bad bad_sectors
100, 100 0 N/A N/A
100, 310 1 400 10
100, 440 1 400 10
100, 540 1 400 10
100, 600 -1 400 10
100, 800 -1 400 10
In order to make code review easier, this patch names the improved bad
block range checking routine as _badblocks_check() and does not change
existing badblock_check() code yet. Later patch will delete old code of
badblocks_check() and make it as a wrapper to call _badblocks_check().
Then the new added code won't mess up with the old deleted code, it will
be more clear and easier for code review.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
