ext4: Properly update i_disksize.
With delayed allocation we use i_data_sem to update i_disksize. We need
to update i_disksize only if the new size specified is greater than the
current value and we need to make sure we don't race with other
i_disksize update. With delayed allocation we will switch to the
write_begin function for non-delayed allocation if we are low on free
blocks. This means the write_begin function for non-delayed allocation
also needs to use the same locking.
We also need to check and update i_disksize even if the new size is less
that inode.i_size because of delayed allocation.
