[PATCH 1/2]: ufs: write to hole in big file

[Evgeniy Dushistov]

Such scenario:
open(O_TRUNC)
lseek(1024 * 1024 * 80)
write("A")
lseek(1024 * 2)
write("A")

may cause access to invalid address.
This happened because of "goal" is calculated in wrong way 
in block allocation path, as I see this problem exists also in 2.4.
We use construction like
this i_data[lastfrag], i_data array of pointers to direct
blocks, indirect and so on, it has ceratain size ~20 elements,
and lastfrag may have value for example 40000.
Also this patch fixes related to handling such scenario issues,
wrong zeroing metadata, in case of block(not fragment) allocation,
and wrong goal calculation, when we allocate block
