[PATCH 14/42] ext4: truncate block allocated on a failed ext4_write_begin

[Theodore Ts'o]

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

For blocksize < pagesize we need to remove blocks that got allocated in
block_write_begin() if we fail with ENOSPC for later blocks.
block_write_begin() internally does this if it allocated pages locally.
This makes sure we don't have blocks outside inode.i_size during ENOSPC.
