fallocate should be a file operation
Currently all filesystems except XFS implement fallocate asynchronously,
while XFS forced a commit. Both of these are suboptimal - in case of O_SYNC
I/O we really want our allocation on disk, especially for the !KEEP_SIZE
case where we actually grow the file with user-visible zeroes. On the
other hand always commiting the transaction is a bad idea for fast-path
uses of fallocate like for example in recent Samba versions. Given
that block allocation is a data plane operation anyway change it from
an inode operation to a file operation so that we have the file structure
available that lets us check for O_SYNC.
This also includes moving the code around for a few of the filesystems,
and remove the already unnedded S_ISDIR checks given that we only wire
up fallocate for regular files.
