This reverts commit 189e868fa8fdca702eb9db9d8afc46b5cb9144c9. This commit reintroduces the use of ext4_block_truncate_page() in ext4 truncate operation instead of ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers(). The statement in the commit description that the truncate operation only zero block unaligned portion of the last page is not exactly right, since truncate_pagecache_range() also zeroes and invalidate the unaligned portion of the page. Then there is no need to zero and unmap it once more and ext4_block_truncate_page() was doing the right job, although we still need to update the buffer head containing the last block, which is exactly what ext4_block_truncate_page() is doing. This was tested on ppc64 machine with block size of 1024 bytes without any problems.
