What files on procfs allow meaningful truncate anyway?  I agree that
vmtruncate() there is bogus, but AFAICT we have the following picture:
	* there are files with non-zero i_size (/proc/kcore and
/proc/bus/pci/*/*); for any of those ATTR_SIZE should fail and I don't
think it should fail silently.
	* the rest has size 0 and for those ATTR_SIZE to non-0 length
should definitely fail with an error.
