This gets done in a separate jbd2 handle called via ext4_evict_inode(). Thus, we don't need to reserve lots of journal credits for the truncate. Note that using too many journal credits is non-optimal because it can leading to the journal transmit getting closed too early, before it is strictly necessary.
