Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] vfs: iversion truncate bug fix

When a file is opened with O_TRUNC or truncated with truncate()/ftruncate(),
and then closed, iversion is not updated. This patch uses ATTR_OPEN flag,
which is currently used to identify files opened with O_TRUNC,
as an indication to increment iversion.
Also it adds passing of this flag from do_sys_truncate and do_sys_ftruncate.
