ext4: fix lost truncate due to race with writeback

Browse Source 
The following race can lead to a loss of i_disksize update from truncate
thus resulting in a wrong inode size if the inode size isn't updated
again before inode is reclaimed:

ext4_setattr()				mpage_map_and_submit_extent()
  EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize = attr->ia_size;
  ...					  ...
					  disksize = ((loff_t)mpd->first_page) << PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT
					  /* False because i_size isn't
					   * updated yet */
					  if (disksize > i_size_read(inode))
					  /* True, because i_disksize is
					   * already truncated */
					  if (disksize > EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize)
					    /* Overwrite i_disksize
					     * update from truncate */
					    ext4_update_i_disksize()
  i_size_write(inode, attr->ia_size);

For other places updating i_disksize such race cannot happen because
i_mutex prevents these races. Writeback is the only place where we do
not hold i_mutex and we cannot grab it there because of lock ordering.

We fix the race by doing both i_disksize and i_size update in truncate
atomically under i_data_sem and in mpage_map_and_submit_extent() we move
the check against i_size under i_data_sem as well.
