Subject: [PATCH 2/7] vfs: inode_change_ok have to perform all necessery checks

Usually this is the only function which called before inode
attributes manipulation. In fact inode_change_ok() performs only
posix checks. But it new_size check is also important. Otherwise
we mail fail in very late stage.
