From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@infradead.org>
Subject: mm: rename various 'offset' parameters to 'index'

The word 'offset' is used ambiguously to mean 'byte offset within a page',
'byte offset from the start of the file' and 'page offset from the start
of the file'.  Use 'index' to mean 'page offset from the start of the
file' throughout the readahead code.
