Chain verification in ext3_get_blocks() has been hosed since it called
verify_chain(chain, NULL) which always returns success. As a result readers
could in theory race with truncate. On the other hand the race probably cannot
happen with the current locking scheme, since by the time ext3_truncate() is
called all the pages are already removed and hence get_block() shouldn't be
called on such pages...
