Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: move f2fs_balance_fs from truncate to punch_hole

From: Jason Hrycay <jason.hrycay@...orola.com>

Move the f2fs_balance_fs out of the truncate_hole function and only
perform that in punch_hole use case.  The commit:

  ed60b1644e7f7e5dd67d21caf7e4425dff05dad0

intended to do this but moved it into truncate_hole to cover more
cases.  However, a deadlock scenario is possible when deleting an inode
entry under specific conditions:

 f2fs_delete_entry()
     mutex_lock_op(sbi, DENTRY_OPS);
     truncate_hole()
         f2fs_balance_fs()
             mutex_lock(&sbi->gc_mutex);
             f2fs_gc()
                 write_checkpoint()
                     block_operations()
                         mutex_lock_op(sbi, DENTRY_OPS);

Lets move it into the punch_hole case to cover the original intent of
avoiding it during fallocate's expand_inode_data case.
