mm/fadvise: use LLONG_MAX instead of -1 for eof

generic_fadvise() sets endbyte = -1 to specify end of file (i.e.  if
length == 0 is passed from userspace).  Most other callers to
filemap_fdatawrite_range() use LLONG_MAX for this purpose, particularly if
they also call fdatawait_range() (which requires end >= start).  For
example, sync_file_range(), vfs_fsync() (where the range is passed down
through per-fs ->fsync() callbacks), filemap_flush(), etc.
generic_fadvise() does not currently wait on writeback, but fix the call
up to be consistent with other callers.
