There is a merge issue when adding badblocks as follow:
echo 0 10 > bad_blocks
echo 30 10 > bad_blocks
echo 20 10 > bad_blocks
cat bad_blocks
0 10
20 10 //should be merged with (30 10)
30 10
In this case, if new badblocks does not intersect with prev, it is added
by insert_at(). If there is an intersection with prev+1, the merge will
be processed in the next re_insert loop.
However, when the end of the new badblocks is exactly equal to the offset
of prev+1, no further re_insert loop occurs, and the two badblocks are not
merge.
Fix it by inc prev, badblocks can be merged during the subsequent code.
