ext4: Avoid corrupting the uninitialized bit in the extent during truncate

The unitialized bit was not properly getting preserved in in an extent
which is partially truncated because the it was geting set to the
value of the first extent to be removed or truncated as part of the
truncate operation, and if there are multiple extents are getting
removed or modified as part of the truncate operation, it is only the
last extent which will might be partially truncated, and its
uninitalized bit is not necessarily the same as the first extent to be
truncated.
