[PATCH v4 1/2] fuse: zero the partial EOF page when extending a file

Extending a fuse file past a non-page-aligned EOF does not zero the tail of
the old last page.  When that page is cached and has been mmap-dirtied beyond
the old EOF, the now in-bounds tail is served to later reads as stale data
rather than zeros, which violates POSIX file-extension semantics.

Some file systems get this zeroing automatically at writeback time
(block_write_full_folio() / iomap_writeback_handle_eof() zero the tail of the
folio straddling i_size).  A non-writeback caching fuse file system uses neither
path, so it has to zero the tail itself from the size-extending paths, like
XFS (xfs_file_write_zero_eof()) and ext4 (ext4_block_zero_eof()) do.

Call truncate_pagecache_range() over the newly-exposed range up front from the
three paths that extend a file, before the new size is published:

  - a buffered write whose position is past the old EOF (fuse_perform_write());
  - a size-extending setattr/truncate (fuse_do_setattr());
  - a size-extending fallocate (fuse_file_fallocate()).

This unmaps the stale mappings and zeroes the partial tail of the old EOF
folio, so a later read returns zeros.  Truncating [old EOF, write start) before
a buffered write keeps the dropped range disjoint from the written data, so a
write that lands inside the old EOF folio is preserved.

writeback_cache connections are unaffected, as their writes go through
iomap_file_buffered_write(), which zeroes post-EOF folios.  The bug is
observable on a non-writeback_cache server that returns FOPEN_KEEP_CACHE on
writable files (without FOPEN_DIRECT_IO), and is caught by the new
write_extend_eof fuse selftest.
