Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: read i_size once in f2fs_vm_page_mkwrite

f2fs_vm_page_mkwrite() reads i_size twice: once to check whether the
folio is partially beyond EOF, and once to calculate the offset for
folio_zero_segment(). But a concurrent buffered write can extend isize
and cause the following race condition to corrupt data:

buffered write writes [0,3500)

CPU0 (write fault)                        CPU1 (buffered write)
 ----                                     ----
 f2fs_vm_page_mkwrite()
 folio_lock(folio)
 if (((loff_t)(folio->index + 1) << PAGE_SHIFT) >
 i_size_read(inode))
 /* i_size_read() = 3500 */
                                           write(fd, buf, 200, 4096)
                                           /* writes into page1, does not
                                              wait for folio lock */
                                           i_size_write(inode, 4296)
 offset = i_size_read(inode) & ~PAGE_MASK
 /* i_size_read() = 4296, offset = 200 */
 folio_zero_segment(folio, offset, folio_size(folio))
 /* valid data [200, 3500) is zeroed */

Fix this by reading i_size once and using the same value for both the
EOF check and the zeroing offset.
