journal: make next_with_matches() always use f->current_offset
next_with_matches() is odd in that its "unit64_t *offset" parameter is
both input and output. In other it's purely for output.
The function is called from two places in next_beyond_location(). In
both of them "&cp" is used as the argument and in both cases cp is
guaranteed to equal f->current_offset.
Let's just have next_with_matches() ignore "*offset" on input and
operate with f->current_offset.
I did not investigate why it is, but it makes my usual benchmark run
reproducibly faster:

(Compare to preceding commit, where real was 4.4s.)
