[PATCH] f2fs: move f2fs_balance_fs from truncate to punch_hole

Move the f2fs_balance_fs out of the truncate_hole function and only
perform that in punch_hole use case. The commit:

ed60b1644e7f7e5dd67d21caf7e4425dff05dad0

intended to do this but moved it into truncate_hole to cover more
cases. However, a deadlock scenario is possible when deleting an inode
entry under specific conditions:

f2fs_delete_entry()
mutex_lock_op(sbi, DENTRY_OPS);
truncate_hole()
f2fs_balance_fs()
mutex_lock(&sbi->gc_mutex);
f2fs_gc()
write_checkpoint()
block_operations()
mutex_lock_op(sbi, DENTRY_OPS);

Lets move it into the punch_hole case to cover the original intent of
avoiding it during fallocate's expand_inode_data case.
