3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 5aa1437d2d9a068c0334bd7c9dafa8ec4f97f13b upstream.
open file, unlink it, then use ioctl(2) to make it immutable or append only. Now close it and watch the blocks *not* freed...
Immutable/append-only checks belong in ->setattr(). Note: the bug is old and backport to anything prior to 737f2e93b972 ("ext2: convert to use the new truncate convention") will need these checks lifted into ext2_setattr().
