Splitting generic preparations, ext2 and shmem into separate patch would
be a tad cleaner I think.

The testing for the new op is pretty ugly, but this should be just a
transition help, so it's fine to me.

These calls don't actually have i_alloc_mutex anymore, do they?

Just make this

	error = simple_ftruncate(...);
	if (!error)
		shmem_truncate_range(inode, offset, -1);
	return error;
