Current serialization will works only for DIO which holds
i_mutex, but nonlocked DIO following race is possible:

dio_nolock_read_task            truncate_task
->ext4_setattr()
 ->inode_dio_wait()
->ext4_ext_direct_IO
  ->ext4_ind_direct_IO
    ->__blockdev_direct_IO
      ->ext4_get_block
 ->truncate_setsize()
 ->ext4_truncate()
 #alloc truncated blocks
 #to other inode
      ->submit_io()
     #INFORMATION LEAK

In order to serialize with unlocked DIO reads we have to
rearrange wait sequence
1) update i_size first
2) if i_size about to be reduced wait for outstanding DIO requests
3) and only after that truncate inode blocks
