__ufs_truncate_blocks(): avoid excessive dirtying of indirect blocks
There's a case when an indirect block gets dirtied for no good reason - when there's a hole starting in the middle of area covered by it and spanning past its end, and truncate() is done precisely to the beginning of the hole. The block is obviously not modified at all - all removals happen beyond it. However, existing code ends up dirtying it just in case. It's trivial to fix and while it's not a real bug by any stretch of imagination, it makes the damn thing harder to follow. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
