Second assert is for the IOLOCK, not the ILOCK....

The code is correct. The ASSERT is testing the locking constraints on
the XFS_IOLOCK_EXCL. That is, if xfs_itruncate_extents() is called
in the VFS inode reclaim path (i.e. via xfs_inactive()), the IO lock
is not used (throws lockdep warnings). Hence the ASSERT is checking
that if we hold an inode reference, we are also holding the IO lock.
Cheers,
Dave.
