Subject: [30/30] vfs: Fix vmtruncate() regression

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@...l.parknet.co.jp>

commit cedabed49b39b4319bccc059a63344b6232b619c upstream.

If __block_prepare_write() was failed in block_write_begin(), the
allocated blocks can be outside of ->i_size.

But new truncate_pagecache() in vmtuncate() does nothing if new < old.
It means the above usage is not working anymore.

So, this patch fixes it by removing "new < old" check. It would need
more cleanup/change. But, now -rc and truncate working is in progress,
so, this tried to fix it minimum change.
