If we fallocate past i_size with KEEP_SIZE, extend the file to use some but not all of this space, and then truncate(i_size) we won't trim the excess preallocated space. We decided at LSF that we want to truncate the fallocated bit past i_size when we truncate to i_size, which is what this patch does.
