ocfs2: add ip_alloc_sem in direct IO to protect allocation changes
In ocfs2, ip_alloc_sem is used to protect allocation changes on the node. In direct IO, we add ip_alloc_sem to protect date consistent between direct-io and ocfs2_truncate_file race (buffer io use ip_alloc_sem already). Although inode->i_mutex lock is used to avoid concurrency of above situation, i think ip_alloc_sem is still needed because protect allocation changes is significant. Other filesystem like ext4 also uses rw_semaphore to protect data consistent between get_block-vs-truncate race by other means, So ip_alloc_sem in ocfs2 direct io is needed.
