block: implement (some of) fallocate for block devices
After much discussion, it seems that the fallocate feature flag FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE maps nicely to SCSI WRITE SAME; and the feature FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE maps nicely to the devices that have been whitelisted for zeroing SCSI UNMAP. Punch still requires that FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE is set. A length that goes past the end of the device will be clamped to the device size if KEEP_SIZE is set; or will return -EINVAL if not. Both start and length must be aligned to the device's logical block size. Since the semantics of fallocate are fairly well established already, wire up the two pieces. The other fallocate variants (collapse range, insert range, and allocate blocks) are not supported.
