    With the new truncate sequence every filesystem that wants to support file
    size changes on disk needs to implement its own ->setattr.  So instead
    of calling inode_setattr which supports size changes call into a simple
    method that doesn't support this.  simple_setattr is almost what we
    want except that it does not mark the inode dirty after changes.  Given
    that marking the inode dirty is a no-op for the simple in-memory filesystems
    that use simple_setattr currently just add the mark_inode_dirty call.
    
    Also add a WARN_ON for the presence of a truncate method to simple_setattr
    to catch new instances of it during the transition period.
