[PATCH 4/5] fs: Remove security attributes on truncate

[Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>]

Similarly as we remove suid bit on truncate, we also want to remove
security extended attributes.

After this patch there's only one user of should_remove_suid() - ocfs2 -
and indeed it's buggy because it doesn't clear security attributes on
write. However fixing it is difficult because of special locking
constraints.
