eCryptfs: Use notify_change for truncating lower inodes
When truncating inodes in the lower filesystem, eCryptfs directly
invoked vmtruncate(). As Christoph Hellwig pointed out, vmtruncate() is
a filesystem helper function, but filesystems may need to do more than
just a call to vmtruncate().
This patch moves the lower inode truncation out of ecryptfs_truncate()
and renames the function to truncate_upper(). truncate_upper() updates
an iattr for the lower inode to indicate if the lower inode needs to be
truncated upon return. ecryptfs_setattr() then calls notify_change(),
using the updated iattr for the lower inode, to complete the truncation.
For eCryptfs functions needing to truncate, ecryptfs_truncate() is
reintroduced as a simple way to truncate the upper inode to a specified
size and then truncate the lower inode accordingly.
