Subject: [PATCH 01/16] fs,fsverity: reject size changes on fsverity files in setattr_prepare

Add the check to reject truncates of fsverity files directly to
setattr_prepare instead of requiring the file system to handle it.
Besides removing boilerplate code, this also fixes the complete lack of
such check in btrfs.

Fixes: 146054090b08 ("btrfs: initial fsverity support")
