This should use the existing min or min_t helpers.

Can we keep generic_remap_file_range_prep as-is, and add a new
dax_remap_file_range_prep, both sharing a low-level
__generic_remap_file_range_prep implementation?  And for that
implementation I'd also go for classic if/else instead of the function
pointer.

no need for the extern.
