vfs: allow file truncations when both suid and write permissions set

Browse source 
When suid is set and the non-owner user has write permission, any writing
into this file should be allowed and suid should be removed after that.

However, current kernel only allows writing without truncations, when we
do truncations on that file, we get EPERM.  This is a bug.

Steps to reproduce this bug:

% ls -l rootdir/file1
-rwsrwsrwx 1 root root 3 Jun 25 15:42 rootdir/file1
% echo h > rootdir/file1
zsh: operation not permitted: rootdir/file1
% ls -l rootdir/file1
-rwsrwsrwx 1 root root 3 Jun 25 15:42 rootdir/file1
% echo h >> rootdir/file1
% ls -l rootdir/file1
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Jun 25 16:34 rootdir/file1
