f2fs didn't properly clean up if verity failed to be enabled on a file:

- It left verity metadata (pages past EOF) in the page cache, which
   would be exposed to userspace if the file was later extended.

- It didn't truncate the verity metadata at all (either from cache or
   from disk) if an error occurred while setting the verity bit.

Fix these bugs by adding a call to truncate_inode_pages() and ensuring
that we truncate the verity metadata (both from cache and from disk) in
all error paths.  Also rework the code to cleanly separate the success
path from the error paths, which makes it much easier to understand.

Eric,

Truncation can fail due to a lot of reasons, if we fail in f2fs_truncate(),
do we need to at least print a message here? or it allows to keep those
meta/data silently.

One other concern is that how do you think of covering truncate_inode_pages &
f2fs_truncate with F2FS_I(inode)->i_gc_rwsem[WRITE] lock to avoid racing with
GC, so that page cache won't be revalidated after truncate_inode_pages().

Thanks,
