[PATCH 1/2] ext4: Fix hueristic which avoids group preallocation for closed files

[Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>]

The hueristic was designed to avoid using locality group preallocation
when writing the last segment of a closed file.  Fix it by move
setting size to the maximum of size and isize until after we check
whether size == isize.
