[patch 6/10] mm: be sure to trim blocks

[Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>]

If prepare_write fails with AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE, or if commit_write fails, then
we may have failed the write operation despite prepare_write having
instantiated blocks past i_size. Fix this, and consolidate the trimming into
one place.
