f2fs: fix to truncate preallocated blocks in f2fs_file_open()
chenyuwen reports a f2fs bug as below:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000011
fscrypt_set_bio_crypt_ctx+0x78/0x1e8
f2fs_grab_read_bio+0x78/0x208

do_el0_svc+0x28/0xa0
el0_svc+0x24/0x84
el0t_64_sync_handler+0x88/0xec
It is because inode.i_crypt_info is not initialized during below path:
- mount
- f2fs_fill_super
- f2fs_disable_checkpoint
- f2fs_gc
- f2fs_iget
- f2fs_truncate
So, let's relocate truncation of preallocated blocks to f2fs_file_open(),
after fscrypt_file_open().
