Subject: orangefs: do not check possibly stale size on truncate

From: Martin Brandenburg <[email protected]>

commit 53950ef541675df48c219a8d665111a0e68dfc2f upstream.

Let the server figure this out because our size might be out of date or not present.

The bug was that

	xfs_io -f -t -c "pread -v 0 100" /mnt/foo
	echo "Test" > /mnt/foo
	xfs_io -f -t -c "pread -v 0 100" /mnt/foo

fails because the second truncate did not happen if nothing had requested the size after the write in echo. Thus i_size was zero (not present) and the orangefs_setattr though i_size was zero and there was nothing to do.
