we should wait dio requests to finish before inode lock in
ocfs2_setattr(), otherwise the following deadlock will be happened:
process 1                  process 2                    process 3
truncate file 'A'          end_io of writing file 'A'   receiving the bast messages

This sounds like something which should be backported into -stable
kernels.  Do you agree?
