ftruncate an overlayfs inode was checking IS_APPEND() on overlay inode, but overlay inode does not have the S_APPEND flag and IS_APPEND() is always checked on backing inode in other places. Set 'inode' var to file_inode() so all checks are performed on backing inode and use locks_inode() explicitly for calling locks_verify_truncate().
