Subject: [PATCH 3/3 v2] fs: move falloc collapse range check into the filesystem methods

Currently in do_fallocate in collapse range case we're checking whether
offset + len is not bigger than i_size. However there is nothing which
would prevent i_size from changing so the check is pointless. It should
be done in the file system itself and the file system needs to make sure
that i_size is not going to change. The i_size check for the other
fallocate modes are also done in the filesystems.

As it is now we can easily crash kernel by having two processes doing
truncate and fallocate collapse range at the same time. This can be
reproduced on ext4 and it is theoretically possible on xfs even though I
was not able to trigger it with this simple test.

This commit removes the check from do_fallocate and adds it to the file
system.
