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

In FAT case, ->i_mutex was better. But, last time I saw, shmfs was using
->i_mutex to call ->bmap. So, this was chosen instead.

I'm not checking current version yet though, if shmfs had change, we can
use ->i_mutex.

BTW, this patch looks good to me.

Thanks.

It was swapfile. And unfortunately it doesn't have change.

I tried that first, but it gives an instant deadlock when using a
swapfile on fat.
