Subject: [RFC PATCH 12/18] iomap: don't increase i_size if it's not a write operation

From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@...wei.com>

Increase i_size in iomap_zero_range() looks not needed, the caller
should handle it. Especially, when truncate partial block, we should
not increase i_size beyond the new EOF here. It dosn't affect xfs and
gfs2 now because they reset the new file size after zero out, it doesn't
matter that a brief increase in i_size. But it will affect ext4 because
it set file size before truncate, so avoid increasing if it's not a
write path.
