In case of error extending write may have instantiated a few blocks
outside i_size. We need to trim these blocks. We have to do it
*regardless* to blocksize. At least ext2, ext3 and reiserfs interpret
(i_size < biggest block) condition as error. Fsck will complain about
wrong i_size. Then fsck will fix the error by changing i_size according
to the biggest block. This is bad because this blocks contain garbage
from previous write attempt. And result in data corruption.
####TESTCASE_BEGIN
$touch /mnt/test/BIG_FILE
## at this moment /mnt/test/BIG_FILE size and blocks equal to zero
open("/mnt/test/BIG_FILE", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_DIRECT, 0666) = 3
write(3, "
aaaaaaaaaaaa"...,
104857600) = -1 ENOSPC (No space left on device)
## size and block sould't be changed because write op failed.
$stat /mnt/test/BIG_FILE
File: `/mnt/test/BIG_FILE'
Size: 0 Blocks: 110896 IO Block: 1024 regular empty file
