Subject: [PATCH v2] ocfs2: Let ocfs2_setattr use new truncate sequence.

Let ocfs2 use the new truncate sequence. The changes include:
1. Remove the extra check for inode_newsize_ok since Christoph
   has moved it into inode_change_ok. So we will check it at the
   beginning of ocfs2_setattr.
2. Use truncate_setsize directly since we don't implement our
   own ->truncate and what we need is "update i_size and
   truncate_pagecache" which truncate_setsize now does.
3. For direct write, ocfs2 actually don't allow write to pass
   i_size(see ocfs2_prepare_inode_for_write), so we don't have
   a chance to increase i_size. So remove the bogus check.
