From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

hpfs_unlink() calls notify_change() to truncate the file before
deleting.  Replace with explicit call to hpfs_notify_change().

This is equivalent, except that:
 - security_inode_setattr() is not called before hpfs_notify_change()
 - fsnotify_change() is not called after hpfs_notify_change()

The truncation is just an implementation detail, so both the security
check and the notification are unnecessary.

Possibly even the ctime modification is wrong?
