Subject: [PATCH] bcachefs: fix last_seq and last_empty_seq in bch2_fs_journal_start()

Values were left as the next possible sequence number when there were no
entries.

The fix involves updating the last_seq initial value and
setting last_empty_seq to cur_seq - 1.

I think this is correct, but we should try to come up with some better
assertions or something to make the code clearer; we don't want off by
ones to lurk so easily.

Could you give it some thought?

You're right. I think the code is written in a confusing way. In
particular it seems that cur_seq - 1 is used all over the place.
I believe we can abstract cur_seq - 1 in an independent variable (since
it represents the actual last sequence number), that should make it
clearer.
I'll share an updated version of the patch.
Thanks for the response!
