NFS: Remove BKL requirement from attribute updates

The main problem is dealing with inode->i_size: we need to set the
inode->i_lock on all attribute updates, and so vmtruncate won't cut it.
Make an NFS-private version of vmtruncate that has the necessary locking
semantics.

The result should be that the following inode attribute updates are
protected by inode->i_lock
	nfsi->cache_validity
	nfsi->read_cache_jiffies
	nfsi->attrtimeo
	nfsi->attrtimeo_timestamp
	nfsi->change_attr
	nfsi->last_updated
	nfsi->cache_change_attribute
	nfsi->access_cache
	nfsi->access_cache_entry_lru
	nfsi->access_cache_inode_lru
	nfsi->acl_access
	nfsi->acl_default
	nfsi->nfs_page_tree
	nfsi->ncommit
	nfsi->npages
	nfsi->open_files
	nfsi->silly_list
	nfsi->acl
	nfsi->open_states
	inode->i_size
	inode->i_atime
	inode->i_mtime
	inode->i_ctime
	inode->i_nlink
	inode->i_uid
	inode->i_gid

The following is protected by dir->i_mutex
	nfsi->cookieverf
