ext3: Add replace-on-truncate hueristics for data=writeback mode
In data=writeback mode, start an asynchronous flush when closing a file which had been previously truncated down to zero. This lowers the probability of data loss in the case of applications that attempt to replace a file using truncate. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
