Subject: [PATCH 5.11 107/120] ext4: fix error handling in ext4_end_enable_verity()

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

commit f053cf7aa66cd9d592b0fc967f4d887c2abff1b7 upstream.

ext4 didn't properly clean up if verity failed to be enabled on a file:

- It left verity metadata (pages past EOF) in the page cache, which
  would be exposed to userspace if the file was later extended.

- It didn't truncate the verity metadata at all (either from cache or
  from disk) if an error occurred while setting the verity bit.

Fix these bugs by adding a call to truncate_inode_pages() and ensuring
that we truncate the verity metadata (both from cache and from disk) in
all error paths.  Also rework the code to cleanly separate the success
path from the error paths, which makes it much easier to understand.
