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.
