[XFS] Don't update i_size for directories and special files

Browse source

The core kernel uses vfs_getattr to look at the inode size and similar
attributes, so there is no need to keep i_size uptodate for directories or
special files. This means we can remove xfs_validate_fields because the
I/O path already keeps i_size uptodate for regular files.
