ext4: Fix potential truncate BUG due to i_prealloc_list being non-empty

We need to call ext4_discard_reservation() earlier in ext4_truncate(),
to avoid a BUG() in ext4_mb_return_to_preallocation(), which is called
(ultimately) by ext4_free_blocks().  So we must ditch the blocks on
i_prealloc_list before we start freeing the data blocks.
