    mm: Remove i_mmap_lock lockbreak · 97a89413

    Hugh says:
     "The only significant loser, I think, would be page reclaim (when
      concurrent with truncation): could spin for a long time waiting for
      the i_mmap_mutex it expects would soon be dropped? "
    
    Counter points:
     - cpu contention makes the spin stop (need_resched())
     - zap pages should be freeing pages at a higher rate than reclaim
       ever can
    
    I think the simplification of the truncate code is definitely worth it.
    
    Effectively reverts: 2aa15890 ("mm: prevent concurrent
    unmap_mapping_range() on the same inode") and takes out the code that
    caused its problem.
