You just leave the duplicate inode_newsize_ok in, but still have
one as part of inode_change_ok.  See the previous thread - we'll
need to move inode_change_ok to under the cluster locks, both
for the truncate and non-truncate case.

this could be on one line now.

But any reason this isn't done inside the

        if (size_change && attr->ia_size != inode->i_size) {

conditional above?  You'll never get size and uid/gid changes in the
same request, so there won't be any change in behaviour.
