We're going to pass around more information when we allocate extent buffers, in order to make that cleaner how we do readahead. Most of the callers have the parent node that we're getting our blockptr from, with the sole exception of relocation which simply has the bytenr it wants to read. Add a helper that takes the current arguments that we need (bytenr and gen), and add another helper for simply reading the slot out of a node. In followup patches the helper that takes all the extra arguments will be expanded, and the simpler helper won't need to have it's arguments adjusted.

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.
