ext4: punch out extents

This patch modifies the truncate routines to support hole punching
Below is a brief summary of the patches changes:

- Added end param to ext_ext4_rm_leaf
        This function has been modified to accept an end parameter
        which enables it to punch holes in leafs instead of just
        truncating them.

- Implemented the "remove head" case in the ext_remove_blocks routine
        This routine is used by ext_ext4_rm_leaf to remove the tail
        of an extent during a truncate.  The new ext_ext4_rm_leaf
        routine will now also use it to remove the head of an extent in the
        case that the hole covers a region of blocks at the beginning
        of an extent.

- Added "end" param to ext4_ext_remove_space routine
        This function has been modified to accept a stop parameter, which
        is passed through to ext4_ext_rm_leaf.
