generic_write_checks() in f2fs_write_checks() can adjust iocb->ki_pos
for append writes and truncate the iterator to limit the number of bytes
to write.
In f2fs_file_write_iter(), the pinned-file overwrite check currently
uses the position and count saved before f2fs_write_checks(), so it
can check a range different from the actual write range.
The forced buffered I/O cleanup also uses orig_pos saved before
f2fs_write_checks(). For O_APPEND writes, this can make the cleanup
flush and invalidate the wrong page cache range.
Move the pinned-file overwrite check after f2fs_write_checks() and use
the adjusted iocb->ki_pos and iov_iter_count(from). Also save the
adjusted write position and use it for the forced buffered I/O cleanup.
