Thanks.
This is part of fixing revoke(2). Even stat() doesn't work right when
it races revoke(). setattr() is used surprisingly often since it is used
for opening with O_TRUNC. open() racing with revoke() caused problems
doing the truncation even though truncation is a no-op for devfs.
Truncation is not atomic for opening with O_TRUNC.
