[PATCH] fat: support a truncate() for expanding size (generic_cont_expand)

Browse Source 
This patch changes generic_cont_expand(), in order to share the code
with fatfs.

  - Use vmtruncate() if ->prepare_write() returns a error.

Even if ->prepare_write() returns an error, it may already have added some
blocks.  So, this truncates blocks outside of ->i_size by vmtruncate().

  - Add generic_cont_expand_simple().

The generic_cont_expand_simple() assumes that ->prepare_write() can handle
the block boundary.  With this, we don't need to care the extra byte.

And for expanding a file size by truncate(), fatfs uses the
added generic_cont_expand_simple().
