fscrypt: new helper function - fscrypt_prepare_setattr()

Browse Source 
Introduce a helper function for filesystems to call when processing
->setattr() on a possibly-encrypted inode.  It handles enforcing that an
encrypted file can only be truncated if its encryption key is available.

/**
* fscrypt_prepare_setattr - prepare to change a possibly-encrypted inode's attributes
* @dentry: dentry through which the inode is being changed
* @attr: attributes to change
*
* Prepare for ->setattr() on a possibly-encrypted inode. On an encrypted file,
* most attribute changes are allowed even without the encryption key. However,
* without the encryption key we do have to forbid truncates. This is needed
* because the size being truncated to may not be a multiple of the filesystem
* block size, and in that case we'd have to decrypt the final block, zero the
* portion past i_size, and re-encrypt it. (We *could* allow truncating to a
* filesystem block boundary, but it's simpler to just forbid all truncates ---
* and we already forbid all other contents modifications without the key.)
*
* Return: 0 on success, -ENOKEY if the key is missing, or another -errno code
* if a problem occurred while setting up the encryption key.
