It hasn't changed. The value of .cow_end.offset before the patch is
nb_bytes (these two lines are equivalent):

  nb_bytes = MIN(requested_bytes, avail_bytes);
  nb_bytes = MIN(*bytes + offset_into_cluster, avail_bytes);

After the patch we update *bytes to pass it to calculate_l2_meta(). Here
is the value (again, these are all equivalent):

  *bytes = MIN(*bytes, nb_bytes - offset_into_cluster)
  *bytes = MIN(*bytes, MIN(*bytes + offset_into_cluster, avail_bytes) -
           offset_into_cluster)
  *bytes = MIN(*bytes, MIN(*bytes, avail_bytes - offset_into_cluster))
  *bytes = MIN(*bytes, avail_bytes - offset_into_cluster)

And here's the value of .cow_end.offset set in calculate_l2_meta():

  cow_end_from = *bytes + offset_into_cluster
  cow_end_from = MIN(*bytes, avail_bytes - offset_into_cluster) + 
                 offset_into_cluster
  cow_end_from = MIN(*bytes + offset_into_cluster, avail_bytes)

This last definition of cow_end_from is the same as nb_bytes as used
before the patch.
