smb: client: fix missing timestamp updates with O_TRUNC
Don't call ->set_file_info() on open handle to prevent the server from
stopping [cm]time updates automatically as per MS-FSA 2.1.4.17.
Fix this by checking for ATTR_OPEN bit earlier in cifs_setattr() to
prevent ->set_file_info() from being called when opening a file with
O_TRUNC. Do the truncation in ->open() instead.
This also saves two roundtrips when opening a file with O_TRUNC and
there are currently no open handles to be reused.
Before patch:
$ mount.cifs //srv/share /mnt -o ...
$ cd /mnt
$ exec 3>foo; stat -c 'old: %z %y' foo; sleep 2; echo test >&3; exec 3>&-; sleep 2; stat -c 'new: %z %y' foo
old: 2025-10-03 13:26:23.151030500 -0300 2025-10-03 13:26:23.151030500 -0300
