Subject: [PATCH] tmpfs: truncate at i_size

If we fallocate past i_size with KEEP_SIZE, extend the file to use some but not
all of this space, and then truncate(i_size) we won't trim the excess
preallocated space.  We decided at LSF that we want to truncate the fallocated
bit past i_size when we truncate to i_size, which is what this patch does.
Thanks,
