Add a new rw_semaphore to protect page_mkwrite against truncate.  Previous
i_alloc_sem was abused for this, but it's going away in this series.

Hi Christoph,

this looks like a bug fix, so we should rather do it in a separate
commit. Could you send it separately, or at least mention that in commit
description ?

That's stupid note, it is not a bugfix of course. Ignore it, sorry for
the noise.

Otherwise the patch looks good.

Thanks!
