ocfs2: teach extend/truncate about sparse files
For ocfs2_truncate_file(), we eliminate the "simple" truncate case which no
longer exists since i_size is not tied to i_clusters. In
ocfs2_extend_file(), we skip the allocation / page zeroing code for file
systems which understand sparse files.
The core truncate code is changed to do a bottom up tree traversal. This
gets abstracted out into it's own function. To make things more readable,
most of the special case handling for in-inode extents from
ocfs2_do_truncate() is also removed.
Though write support for sparse files comes in a later patch, we at least
update ocfs2_prepare_inode_for_write() to skip allocation for sparse files.
