It looks like the bug of __getblk_slow(). If requested block was beyond
end of device, __find_get_block() will find buffer_mapped()'s buffer,
but block >= end_block is unmapped. So, it can be loop.

The following patch fixes it? If it fix, there are some options to check
it.

a) Check it like this patch and warn.
b) (a), but without warn.
c) Check it in init_page_buffers() and return -EIO or such

Well, anyway, Cc to Jens.
