The start argument for btrfs_free_reserved_data_space_noquota() is only used to make sure the amount of bytes we decrement from the bytes_may_use counter of the data space_info object is aligned to the filesystem's sector size. It serves no other purpose. All its current callers always pass a length argument that is already aligned to the sector size, so we can make the start argument go away. In fact its presence makes it impossible to use it in a context where we just want to free a number of bytes for a range for which either we do not know its start offset or for freeing multiple ranges at once (which are not contiguous). This change is preparatory work for a patch (third patch in this series) that makes relocation of data block groups that are not full reserve less data space.

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.
