[XFS] Wait for all I/O on truncate to zero file size

It's possible to have outstanding xfs_ioend_t's queued when the file size
is zero. This can happen in the direct I/O path when a direct I/O write
fails due to ENOSPC. In this case the xfs_ioend_t will still be queued (ie
xfs_end_io_direct() does not know that the I/O failed so can't force the
xfs_ioend_t to be flushed synchronously).

When we truncate a file on unlink we don't know to wait for these
xfs_ioend_ts and we can have a use-after-free situation if the inode is
reclaimed before the xfs_ioend_t is finally processed.

As was suggested by Dave Chinner lets wait for all I/Os to complete when
truncating the file size to zero.
