f2fs: fix to zero post-EOF data when extending file size

Steps of generic/794: 1. write 4096 bytes to file w/ 0x5a 2. use fiemap to get PBA of first block in file 3. truncate file to 4080 4. umount; write 4096 bytes to file w/ 0x5a directly via PBA; mount 5. extend filesize via a) append 4096 from offset 4096, or b) truncate 8192, or c) fallocate 4096 from offset 4096 6. verify the gap is zeroed in memory [4080,4096) 7. sync range 4096 from offset 4096; shutdown -f (flush meta before shutdown) 8. umount; mount; verify [4080,4096) is zeroed or not.

When extending file size (e.g. via truncate, fallocate, or write) across an unaligned EOF boundary, we need to ensure that post-EOF data in the partial page is zeroed out in pagecache and marked dirty, then writeback the cache to persist zeroed data before committing inode w/ updated i_size.

This help to prevent stale disk data beyond the previous EOF from being exposed after remounting or crash recovery.

Since f2fs is a LFS filesystem, we only support direct write via PBA in pinfile, and pinfile has section-aligned filesize, so in Android, there should no problem, but for other usage in different environment, let's fix this w/ fsync_mode=strict mount option.
