Yeah. I've just triggered this bugon. Even it it is false trigger
because it is safe to have i_aiodio_unwritten some where inside
file while file grow it in progress, but in order to be on the
safe side lets move inode_dio_wait inside ext4_truncate()
so it allow us to have 100% bulletproof assertion 
inside ext4_ext_remove_space:
BUG_ON(atomic_read(&EXT4_I(inode)->i_aiodio_unwritten))
BUG_ON(atomic_read(&(inode)->i_dio_count))

This should not affect performance since we already wait for dio tasks
during ext4_setattr, but now we will also will wait on failed_write
which happen only on error path.
