VFS: fix a race in lease-breaking during truncate

Browse source 
It is possible that another process could acquire a new file lease right
after break_lease() is called during a truncate, but before lease-granting
is disabled by the subsequent get_write_access().  Merely switching the
order of the break_lease() and get_write_access() calls prevents this race.
