fs: truncate blocks outside i_size after O_DIRECT write error

Browse source 
In case of error extending write may have instantiated a few blocks
outside i_size.  We need to trim these blocks.  We have to do it
*regardless* to blocksize.  At least ext2, ext3 and reiserfs interpret
(i_size < biggest block) condition as error.  Fsck will complain about
wrong i_size.  Then fsck will fix the error by changing i_size according
to the biggest block.  This is bad because this blocks contain garbage
from previous write attempt.  And result in data corruption.

####TESTCASE_BEGIN
$touch /mnt/test/BIG_FILE
## at this moment /mnt/test/BIG_FILE size and blocks equal to zero
open("/mnt/test/BIG_FILE", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_DIRECT, 0666) = 3
write(3, "aaaaaaaaaaaa"..., 104857600) = -1 ENOSPC (No space left on device)
## size and block sould't be changed because write op failed.
$stat /mnt/test/BIG_FILE
File: `/mnt/test/BIG_FILE'
Size: 0 Blocks: 110896 IO Block: 1024 regular empty file
<<<<<<<<^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^file size is less than biggest block idx
