omfs_shrink_inode() only implements truncation to zero and returns -EIO
for a nonzero i_size. However, omfs_setattr() updates i_size and the page
cache before calling omfs_truncate(), which discards that error.
As a result, ftruncate() on an empty file to 16384 bytes succeeds, but
reading the extended file fails with EIO. Shrinking to a nonzero size
also leaves the old extents in place, so a later extension can expose
data that should have been discarded.
Reject size changes with a nonzero target before changing i_size or the
page cache. Keep truncation to zero and requests that leave the size
unchanged working.
