Ext4 Punch Hole Support: 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.
