Subject: [PATCH] nfs: prevent truncate on active swapfile

Most filesystems prevent truncation of an active swapfile by way of
inode_newsize_ok, called from inode_change_ok. NFS doesn't call either
from nfs_setattr, presumably because most of these checks are expected
to be done server-side. However, the IS_SWAPFILE check can only be done
client-side, and not doing so is dangerous.
