ext4: update i_disksize if direct write past ondisk size

Currently in ext4 direct write path, we update i_disksize only when
new eof is greater than i_size, and don't update it even when new
eof is greater than i_disksize but less than i_size. This doesn't
work well with delalloc buffer write, which updates i_size and
i_disksize only when delalloc blocks are resolved (at writeback
time), the i_disksize from direct write can be lost if a previous
buffer write succeeded at write time but failed at writeback time,
then results in corrupted ondisk inode size.

Consider this case, first buffer write 4k data to a new file at
offset 16k with delayed allocation, then direct write 4k data to the
same file at offset 4k before delalloc blocks are resolved, which
doesn't update i_disksize because it writes within i_size(20k), but
the extent tree metadata has been committed in journal. Then
writeback of the delalloc blocks fails (due to device error etc.),
and i_size/i_disksize from buffer write can't be written to disk
(still zero). A subsequent umount/mount cycle recovers journal and
writes extent tree metadata from direct write to disk, but with
i_disksize being zero.

Fix it by updating i_disksize too in direct write path when new eof
is greater than i_disksize but less than i_size, so i_disksize is
always consistent with direct write.

This fixes occasional i_size corruption in fstests generic/475.
