    fs: move falloc collapse range check into the filesystem methods · 23fffa92

    Currently in do_fallocate in collapse range case we're checking
    whether offset + len is not bigger than i_size.  However there is
    nothing which would prevent i_size from changing so the check is
    pointless.  It should be done in the file system itself and the file
    system needs to make sure that i_size is not going to change.  The
    i_size check for the other fallocate modes are also done in the
    filesystems.
    
    As it is now we can easily crash the kernel by having two processes
    doing truncate and fallocate collapse range at the same time.  This
    can be reproduced on ext4 and it is theoretically possible on xfs even
    though I was not able to trigger it with this simple test.
    
    This commit removes the check from do_fallocate and adds it to the
    file system.
