Without locking, truncate is racy.

This choose ->release(). BTW, we would also be able to do this only
->evict_inode(), although I'm not thinking yet which one is better.

If you had conclusion, it would be nice to explain it.

Also this looks like totally racy.

Hm, only write_begin is enough to handle mmap, truncate, and etc.?

Thanks.
