ext4: Avoid data / filesystem corruption when write fails to copy data
When ext4_write_begin fails after allocating some blocks or generic_perform_write fails to copy data to write, we truncate blocks already instantiated beyond i_size. Although these blocks were never inside i_size, we have to truncate the pagecache of these blocks so that corresponding buffers get unmapped. Otherwise subsequent __block_prepare_write (called because we are retrying the write) will find the buffers mapped, not call ->get_block, and thus the page will be backed by already freed blocks leading to filesystem and data corruption.
