No, what yangerkun wrote is correct. We don't have to wait for commit when
offset == 0 - truncate_inode_pages() should just happily process such page.
Also '>' in the above condition is correct. offset == PAGE_SIZE -
i_blocksize(inode) means one full block is getting truncated from the page
and we need to wait in that case to avoid jbd2_journal_invalidatepage()
failing with EBUSY when called from truncate_inode_pages().
