selinux: do not check open perm on ftruncate call
Use the ATTR_FILE attribute to distinguish between truncate() and ftruncate() system calls. The two other cases where do_truncate is called with a filp (and therefore ATTR_FILE is set) are for coredump files and for open(O_TRUNC). In both of those cases the open permission has already been checked during file open and therefore does not need to be repeated. Commit 95dbf739 ("SELinux: check OPEN on truncate calls") fixed a major issue where domains were allowed to truncate files without the open permission. However, it introduced a new bug where a domain with the write permission can no longer ftruncate files without the open permission, even when they receive an already open file.
