ext4: Fix locking hierarchy violation in ext4_fallocate() 



ext4_fallocate() was trying to acquire i_data_sem outside of
jbd2_start_transaction/jbd2_journal_stop, which violates ext4's locking
hierarchy.  So we take i_mutex to prevent writes and truncates during
the complete fallocate operation, and use ext4_get_block_wrap() which
acquires and releases i_data_sem for each block allocation.
