[PATCH RESEND] nfs: prevent truncate on active swapfile

[Omar Sandoval]

Most filesystems prevent truncation of an active swapfile by way of
inode_newsize_ok, called from inode_change_ok. NFS doesn't call either
from nfs_setattr, presumably because most of these checks are expected
to be done server-side. However, the IS_SWAPFILE check can only be done
client-side, and truncating a swapfile can't possibly be good.

Hi, Trond,

Now that the holidays are over, could you take a look at this? It was
generated against v3.19-rc3.

Thanks!
