Both the NFS protocols and the Linux VFS use a setattr operation with a
bitmap of attributs to set to set various file attributes including the
file size and the uid/gid.

The Linux syscalls never mixe size updates with unrelated updates like
the uid/gid, and some file systems like XFS and GFS2 rely on the fact
that truncates might not update random other attributes, and many
other file systems handle the case but do not update the different
attributes in the same transaction.  NFSD on the other hand passes
the attributes it gets on the wire more or less directly through to
the VFS, leading to updates the file systems don't expect.  XFS at
least has an assert on the allowed attributes, which cought an NFS
client sets the size and group ІD at the same time.

To handles this issue properly this switches nfsd to call vfs_truncate
for size changes, and then handling all other attributes through
notify_change.  As a side effect this also means less boilerplace
code around the size change as we can now reuse the VFS code.

So if you only have ATTR_SIZE then you're going to end up having to do
another notify_change to update the ctime? Can we get away with just
calling vfs_truncate when only ATTR_SIZE is set and skipping the
notify_change to update the ctime?

Overall though, this is a reasonable change I think. Size changes are
more of a special case. I also like the idea of breaking out truncates
to a separate operation, but that's a much bigger project.

We probably could, but there are some fine details there:

For truncate(2) Posix require us to not updated the time stamps when
truncating and already zero length file to 0, but for ftruncate(2) and
O_TRUNC we do have to update the mtime and ctime.  The Linux VFS
communicates that difference by not setting ATTR_CTIME and ATTR_MTIME in
ia_valid for truncate(2), but expecting the fs to update them anyway.
(another reason for a proper truncate method to make this explicit).

I'll need to look at the exact NFS semantics in that area, but after
a bit of research I can probably come up with something that will work.
