Mostly trivial conversion. We fix a bug that IS_IMMUTABLE and IS_APPEND
files could not be truncated during failed writes as we change the code.
In fact we remove the test altogether because do_sys_[f]truncate() and
may_open() do necessary checks anyway.

 - updated patch to match ext4 version:
    - use truncate_setsize() instead of opencoding it
    - remove IS_APPEND & IS_IMMUTABLE check altogether
    - remove duplicate inode_newsize_ok() check

This doesn't look quite correct me.  One of the major points of the
new truncate sequence is to to *_truncate_page before updating i_size,
so that we can properly handle an error there.  With your patch it's
still called too late.

Thanks, added to the ext4 tree.

Oops, replied to the wrong message.  I pulled in the ext4 v2 version
of your patch, obviously...

  OK, I missed this point (frankly, handling of error from
ext3_block_truncate_page() does not seem like a huge win when we cannot
handle error anywhere else during truncate but it's an improvement I
agree). I'll move ext3_block_truncate_page() before the setting of i_size.
Thanks for having a look at the patch.

Btw, I think ext4 has the same issue.
