ext4: add new function ext4_block_zero_page_range()
This patch modifies the existing ext4_block_truncate_page() function
which was used by the truncate code path, and which zeroes out block
unaligned data, by adding a new length parameter, and renames it to
ext4_block_zero_page_rage(). This function can now be used to zero out the
head of a block, the tail of a block, or the middle
of a block.
The ext4_block_truncate_page() function is now a wrapper to
ext4_block_zero_page_range().
