[PATCH][RFC] fs: Add new pre-allocation ioctls to vfs for compatibilitywith legacy xfs ioctls

[Ankit Jain]

This patch adds ioctls to vfs for compatibility with legacy XFS
pre-allocation ioctls (XFS_IOC_*RESVP*). The implementation
effectively invokes sys_fallocate for the new ioctls.
Note: These legacy ioctls are also implemented by OCFS2.

There are some things that I'm not sure about:
1. Should the struct space_resv be exposed to user-space? If not,
then what would be the right place to put it? And the ioctl
definitions?
2. Should the corresponding ioctls be removed from ocfs2?
