How this `abort` was intended to check for was:
- if the `mapping->first_mapping_index` is not the same as
  `first_mapping_index`, which **should** happen only in one case,
  when we are handling the first mapping, in that case
  `mapping->first_mapping_index == -1`, in all other cases, the other
  mappings after the first should have the condition `true`.
- From above, we know that this is the first mapping, so if the offset
  is not `0`, then abort, since this is an invalid state.

The issue was that `first_mapping_index` is not set if we are
checking from the middle, the variable `first_mapping_index` is
only set if we passed through the check `cluster_was_modified` with the
first mapping, and in the same function call we checked the other
mappings.

One approach is to go into the loop even if `cluster_was_modified`
is not true so that we will be able to set `first_mapping_index` for the
first mapping, but since `first_mapping_index` is only used here,
another approach is to just check manually for the
`mapping->first_mapping_index != -1` since we know that this is the
value for the only entry where `offset == 0` (i.e. first mapping).
