small cleanups for ->setattr

small cleanups for ->setattr

[Christoph Hellwig]

Hi all,

this series has two trivial cleanups for ->setattr.

[PATCH 1/2] xfs: remove a duplicate assert in xfs_setattr_size

[Christoph Hellwig]

There already is an assert that checks for uid and gid changes besides a
lot of others at the beginning of the function.

[PATCH 2/2] xfs: fold xfs_setattr_size into xfs_vn_setattr_size

[Christoph Hellwig]

xfs_vn_setattr_size is the only caller of xfs_setattr_size, so merge the
two functions.
