[PATCH v2 1/1] truncate: generate fanotify and inotify events

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

The fanotify and the inotify API can be used to monitor changes of the file
system.

System call truncate modifies files. Hence it should trigger the corresponding
fanotify and inotify events.

Version 2:
Event FAN_OPEN_PERM has to be created before the file is locked. Otherwise
the fanotify listener cannot write to the file.

Correct an if block as indicated by Kirill A. Shutemov.
