Hi Lukas,

The trace_ext4_ext_punch_hole_exit() is added because we do the same
thing in ext4_truncate().  In this function we call *_truncate_enter()
and *_truncate_exit().  There is not other special reason for adding it.
So I can change it according to your advice in next version.

Regards,
Zheng
