[PATCH] fuse: fix hang on SMP

Fuse didn't always call i_size_write() with i_mutex held which caused rare
hangs on SMP/32bit.  This bug has been present since fuse-2.2, well before
being merged into mainline.

The simplest solution is to protect i_size_write() with the per-connection
spinlock.  Using i_mutex for this purpose would require some restructuring of
the code and I'm not even sure it's always safe to acquire i_mutex in all
places i_size needs to be set.

Since most of vmtruncate is already duplicated for other reasons, duplicate
the remaining part as well, making all i_size_write() calls internal to fuse.

Using i_size_write() was unnecessary in fuse_init_inode(), since this function
is only called on a newly created locked inode.

Reported by a few people over the years, but special thanks to Dana Henriksen
who was persistent enough in helping me debug it.
