posix_fallocate/fallocate (commit 716ea734e4cd83a2030ca2cac10056bdaab1a021)

[Björn JACKE]

Hi Jeremy,

I wrote up this comment for posix_fallocate. For fallocate this is not correct
as it is a Linux-only call and returns just 0 or 1. So this change is a bit
misleading now...:

        if (ret == ENOSPC) {
                errno = ENOSPC;
                return -1;

maybe it would be a better to leave posix_fallocate and fallocate in separate
VFS calls. This will make also a single of them easier to be reaplacable in vfs
modules. I would actually prefer that very much, what do you think?
