[PATCH] ioctl_getfsmap.2: correct semantics of FMR_OF_LAST flag

From: Darrick J. Wong <hidden>
Date: 2017-08-23 19:52:29

The FMR_OF_LAST flag is applied to the last record in the returned
dataset, which is not necessarily the last record in the filesystem.
Correct the documentation to reflect the actual behavior of both
getfsmap implementations.
