fs: add ksys_ftruncate() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_ftruncate()
Using the ksys_ftruncate() wrapper allows us to get rid of in-kernel
calls to the sys_ftruncate() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this
function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In
particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_ftruncate().
This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see
