Extend the existing in_range() API to provide a user-friendly inclusive range check and add one illustrative in-tree example of its use. The in_range() API lends itself easily to callers who care about a half-open range, but has no straightforward equivalent for callers that want to check for an inclusive range. Such callers have to resort to this pattern: in_range(val, start, (end - start + 1)) which is quite clunky and easy to mess up. Examples of such callers: - fs/btrfs/extent-io-tree.c hand-computes the inclusive check by passing "state->end - state->start + 1" as in_range()'s len argument. - drivers/md/dm-raid.c has its own file-local __within_range(v, min, max) helper, independently invented, with almost a dozen call sites in that one file. - drivers/iio/imu/bmi270/bmi270_core.c has three "in_range(val, 0, MAX + 1)" checks in bmi270_write_event_value(), computing the +1 by hand for the same reason. This series converts only bmi270_core.c as a first step, as an exemplar for the usage of the new API.
