The cntbt lastblock scan checks the size, alignment, locality, etc. of each free extent in the block and compares it with the current best candidate. This logic will be reused by the upcoming optimized cntbt algorithm, so refactor it into a separate helper. Note that acur->diff is now initialized to -1 (unsigned) instead of 0 to support the more granular comparison logic in the new helper.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
