Subject: [PATCH] fuse: hold i_mutex in fuse_file_fallocate()

Changing size of a file on server and local update (fuse_write_update_size)
should be always protected by inode->i_mutex. Otherwise a race like this is
possible:

1. Process 'A' calls fallocate(2) to extend file (~FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE).
fuse_file_fallocate() sends FUSE_FALLOCATE request to the server.
2. Process 'B' performs ordinary buffered write(2) with a length big enough
to extend the file beyond "offset + length" of fallocate call.
3. Process 'A' resumes execution of fuse_file_fallocate() and calls
fuse_write_update_size(inode, offset + length). But 'offset + length' was
obsoleted by write from previous step.
