+implemented in ->setattr, which is now mandatory for filesystems
+implementing on-disk size changes.  Start with a copy of the old inode_setattr
+and vmtruncate, and the reorder the vmtruncate + foofs_vmtruncate sequence to
+be in order of zeroing blocks using block_truncate_page or similar helpers,
+size update and on finally on-disk truncation which should not fail.
+inode_change_ok now includes the size checks for ATTR_SIZE and must be called
+in the beginning of ->setattr unconditionally.
