ext3: fix chain verification in ext3_get_blocks()
Chain verification in ext3_get_blocks() has been hosed since it called
verify_chain(chain, NULL) which always returns success. As a result
readers could in theory race with truncate. On the other hand the race
probably cannot happen with the current locking scheme, since by the
time ext3_truncate() is called all the pages are already removed and
hence get_block() shouldn't be called on such pages...
