------------------------------------------------------
Subject: drm/i915: use shmem_truncate_range
From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>

The interface to ->truncate_range is changing very slightly: once "tmpfs:
take control of its truncate_range" has been applied, this can be applied.
 For now there is only a slight inefficiency while this remains unapplied,
but it will soon become essential for managing shmem's use of swap.

Change i915_gem_object_truncate() to use shmem_truncate_range() directly:
which should also spare i915 later change if we switch from
inode_operations->truncate_range to file_operations->fallocate.
