VFS: allow filesystems to implement atomic open+truncate
Add a new attribute flag ATTR_OPEN, with the meaning: "truncation was initiated by open() due to the O_TRUNC flag". This way filesystems wanting to implement truncation within their ->open() method can ignore such truncate requests. This is a quick & dirty hack, but it comes for free.
