3.2.93-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit babef37dccbaa49249a22bae9150686815d7be71 upstream.
As it is, short copy in write() to append-only file will fail
to truncate the excessive allocated blocks. As the matter of
fact, all checks in ufs_truncate_blocks() are either redundant
or wrong for that caller. As for the only other caller
(ufs_evict_inode()), we only need the file type checks there.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
- No functions need to be renamed
- Adjust filenames, context]
