[PATCH master v2] fs: fix NULL pointer dereference of fsdrv->truncate for read-only FS

[Ahmad Fatoum <ahmad@xxxxxx>]

fsdrv->truncate is dereferenced at times without checking for NULL before,
leading to crashes, e.g. doing:

  edit -o /mnt/myext4/FILE some text

on ext4 crashes. Fix this by returning -EROFS when truncate is unimplemented.

v1 -> v2:
  - use dev parameter instead of going through &f->fsdev->dev.
    No functional change, but makes diff easier to verify.
