Subject: radix-tree: fix contiguous iterator
Fix a bug in the macro radix_tree_for_each_contig().
If radix_tree_next_slot() sees NULL in next slot it returns NULL, but
following radix_tree_next_chunk() switches iterating into next chunk. As
result iterating becomes non-contiguous and breaks vfs "splice" and all
its users.
