flex_array: flex_array_prealloc takes a number of elements, not an end

Browse Source 
Change flex_array_prealloc to take the number of elements for which space
should be allocated instead of the last (inclusive) element. Users
and documentation are updated accordingly.  flex_arrays got introduced before
they had users.  When folks started using it, they ended up needing a
different API than was coded up originally.  This swaps over to the API that
folks apparently need.

@ -66,10 +66,10 @@ trick is to ensure that any needed memory allocations are done before
entering atomic context, using:
int flex_array_prealloc(struct flex_array *array, unsigned int start,
unsigned int end, gfp_t flags);
unsigned int nr_elements, gfp_t flags);
This function will ensure that memory for the elements indexed in the range
defined by start and end has been allocated. Thereafter, a
defined by start and nr_elements has been allocated. Thereafter, a
flex_array_put() call on an element in that range is guaranteed not to
block.
