Subject: [PATCH] [CIFS] Add worker function to set allocation size

Adds setinfo worker function for SMB2/SMB3 support of SET_ALLOCATION_INFORMATION

Attached is one approach for adding the worker function to extend
a file's allocation size over SMB2/SMB3 mounts.   It is a very
small change to add a parm to SMB2_set_eof and seems the
easiest way.   I have experimented with two ways
of using this patch - via the fallocate VFS interface (in which
we have to be careful and check that we are not going
to shrink the file so that we follow the Linux semantics) and
an cifs/smb3 specific ioctl.  Before adding the second patch
though, I am waiting for more information.  I have asked
for clarification from Microsoft and also from JRA on
the behavior on the two server types (since I may have found
a Samba server bug) when testing this.
