Hi OGAWA.

I will check for races and provide locking.

evict_inode() will be called only when we unlink the file or if inode
is evicted from cache.
As we discussed with you before, We considered preallocated blocks is
discarded on all close file cases(unlink and muliple openning file).
So we think it would be better to do this in ->release().

Okay, I will fix it.

We had not checked these use cases. We will check these.

Thanks for review!
