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.

So this deals with our questions regarding check of i_size outside
the inode cluster lock? (see fsdevel discussion)
oh, I forget about this. yes, we should have cluster lock and shouldn't remove this check.


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.

While you're here, you should be able to use inode->i_size if you're
under i_mutex, no?
ok, will change it and the correpsonding part in truncate_setsize.
