posix: leverage FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE in zerofill fop
posix_zerofill() implements zerofilling of a given (offset,length) by doing a writev in a loop followed by an optional fsync on the file. fallocate(2) has a FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE flag which does away with all this and provides the same result (from a userspace application point of view) with a single syscall. This patch attempts the zerofill with the latter and falls back to the former if it fails. Tested using a libgfapi based C program on XFS and observed using gdb that posix_zerofill()'s call to fallocate with FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE was a success.
