fuse: writepages: crop secondary requests
If writeback happens while fuse is in FUSE_NOWRITE condition, the request
will be queued but not processed immediately (see fuse_flush_writepages()).
Until FUSE_NOWRITE becomes relaxed, more writebacks can happen. They will
be queued as "secondary" requests to that first ("primary") request.
Existing implementation crops only primary request. This is not correct
because a subsequent extending write(2) may increase i_size and then
secondary requests won't be cropped properly. The result would be stale
data written to the server to a file offset where zeros must be.
Similar problem may happen if secondary requests are attached to an
in-flight request that was already cropped.
The patch solves the issue by cropping all secondary requests in
fuse_writepage_end(). Thanks to Miklos for idea.
