Sorry for the delay in attending to this patch. This is what I've
added to the ext4 patch queue.

    ext4: correctly calculate number of blocks for fiemap

    ext4_fiemap() rounds the length of the requested range down to
    blocksize, which is is not the true number of blocks that cover the
    requested region. This problem is especially impressive if the user
    requests only the first byte of a file: not a single extent will be
    reported.

    We fix this by calculating the last block of the region and then
    subtract to find the number of blocks in the extents.
