Subject: [PATCH 4.4 143/146] tmpfs: dont undo fallocate past its last page

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Anthony Romano <anthony.romano@...eos.com>

commit b9b4bb26af017dbe930cd4df7f9b2fc3a0497bfe upstream.

When fallocate is interrupted it will undo a range that extends one byte
past its range of allocated pages.  This can corrupt an in-use page by
zeroing out its first byte.  Instead, undo using the inclusive byte
range.

Fixes: 1635f6a74152f1d ("tmpfs: undo fallocation on failure")
