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: 2aa15890f3c ("mm: prevent concurrent
unmap_mapping_range() on the same inode") and takes out the code that
caused its problem.
