Jens Axboe 5cfc202825 io_uring/filetable: clamp alloc_hint to the configured alloc range
[ Upstream commit a6bded921e ]

Explicit fixed file install/remove operations on slots outside the
configured alloc range can corrupt alloc_hint via io_file_bitmap_set()
and io_file_bitmap_clear(), which unconditionally update alloc_hint to
the bit position. This causes subsequent auto-allocations to fall
outside the configured range.

For example, if the alloc range is [10, 20) and a file is removed at
slot 2, alloc_hint gets set to 2. The next auto-alloc then starts
searching from slot 2, potentially returning a slot below the range.

Fix this by clamping alloc_hint to [file_alloc_start, file_alloc_end)
at the top of io_file_bitmap_get() before starting the search.
