commit e9734653c523c744f03333ece6ae7a315187f05c upstream.
Add the check to reject truncates of fsverity files directly to
setattr_prepare instead of requiring the file system to handle it.
Besides removing boilerplate code, this also fixes the complete lack of
such check in btrfs.

From: Andrey Albershteyn <aalbersh@kernel.org>
commit d2f96bcb89d36d488a10e3bcf819b98536968286 upstream.
The check that fs-verity is available in the kernel is not necessary
here. Filesystems could have fsverity files even without fs-verity
enabled. In that case, truncate on fsverity file will succeed, what this
check is trying to prevent.
