The kernel allows opening a file for append and truncation. What it
doesn't allow is opening an append-only file for truncation. Note that
this causes generic/079 to regress, but the root cause of that problem
is actually that fuse oddly supports FS_IOC_[GS]ETFLAGS but doesn't
actually set the VFS inode flags.
