radix-tree: fix contiguous iterator
This patch fixes bug in macro radix_tree_for_each_contig().

If radix_tree_next_slot() sees NULL in next slot it returns NULL, but following
radix_tree_next_chunk() switches iterating into next chunk. As result iterating
becomes non-contiguous and breaks vfs "splice" and all its users.
