Subject: [PATCH] cifs: Remove cifs_truncate_page() as it should be superfluous

The calls to cifs_truncate_page() should be superfluous as the places that
call it also call truncate_setsize() or cifs_setsize() and therefore
truncate_pagecache() which should also clear the tail part of the folio
containing the EOF marker.

Further, smb3_simple_falloc() calls both cifs_setsize() and
truncate_setsize() in addition to cifs_truncate_page().

Remove the superfluous calls.

This gets rid of another function referring to struct page.

[Should cifs_setsize() also set inode->i_blocks?]
