With delayed allocation we should not/cannot discard inode prealloc space during file close. We would still have dirty pages for which we haven't allocated blocks yet. With this fix after each get_blocks request we check whether we have zero reserved blocks and if yes and we don't have any writers on the file we discard inode prealloc space.
