Message-ID: <20261006213605.46946-2-ebiggers@kernel.org>

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

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.
