Subject: [PATCH v2] ext3: Convert ext3 to new truncate calling convention

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
