ext4: remove writable userspace mappings before truncating page cache



When zeroing a range of folios on the filesystem which block size is
less than the page size, the file's mapped blocks within one page will
be marked as unwritten, we should remove writable userspace mappings to
ensure that ext4_page_mkwrite() can be called during subsequent write
access to these partial folios. Otherwise, data written by subsequent
mmap writes may not be saved to disk.

 $mkfs.ext4 -b 1024 /dev/vdb
 $mount /dev/vdb /mnt
 $xfs_io -t -f -c "pwrite -S 0x58 0 4096" -c "mmap -rw 0 4096" \
               -c "mwrite -S 0x5a 2048 2048" -c "fzero 2048 2048" \
               -c "mwrite -S 0x59 2048 2048" -c "close" /mnt/foo

 $od -Ax -t x1z /mnt/foo
 000000 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58

 $umount /mnt && mount /dev/vdb /mnt
 $od -Ax -t x1z /mnt/foo
 000000 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58 58

Fix this by introducing ext4_truncate_page_cache_block_range() to remove
writable userspace mappings when truncating a partial folio range.
Additionally, move the journal data mode-specific handlers and
truncate_pagecache_range() into this function, allowing it to serve as a
common helper that correctly manages the page cache in preparation for
block range manipulations.
