In the kernel 4.6, firstly, we use the inode_lock() in do_truncate() to
prevent another bio to be issued from this node.
Furthermore, we use the ocfs2_rw_lock() and ocfs2_inode_lock() in ocfs2_setattr()
to guarantee no more bio will be issued from the other nodes in this cluster.

Yes, ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() was introduced in 4.6 and the problem this patch
fixes is only exist in the kernel 4.6 and above 4.6.
