Remove the code that re-initializes a buffer head with an invalid block number and BH_New and BH_Delay bits when a matching delayed and unwritten block has been found in the extent status cache. Replace it with assertions that verify the buffer head already has this state correctly set. The current code masked an inline data truncation bug that left stale entries in the extent status cache. With this change, generic/130 can be used to reproduce and detect that bug.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
