your patch "mm: Remove false WARN_ON from pagecache_isize_extended()"

[Jan Beulich]

Jan,

having run into that warning too, I looked into it a little, and now
having found that patch am pretty uncertain: Both truncate_setsize()
and pagecache_isize_extended() document that they want to be
called with i_mutex held, so removing the WARN_ON() alone seems
either incomplete or wrong. What I found to work without violating
this documented requirement is the patch below.
