Peter Zijlstra 97a894136f mm: Remove i_mmap_lock lockbreak
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: 2aa15890f3 ("mm: prevent concurrent
unmap_mapping_range() on the same inode") and takes out the code that
caused its problem.
