    vfs: fix fallocate(FALLOC_FL_CONVERT_AND_EXTEND)
    
    Patchset description:
    
    The patch reworks the feature and renames it to FALLOC_FL_CONVERT_UNWRITTEN.
    
    Intended use:
    
    0) pos := i_size_read(inode); len := 1MB; prealloc := 100MB
    
    1) fallocate(file, 0, pos, prealloc)
    2) fiemap(inode, &fieinfo, pos, 1)
    3) dio pwrite(block_device, data, len, fi_extent.fe_physical)
    4) fallocate(file, FALLOC_FL_CONVERT_UNWRITTEN, pos, len)
    
    ===
    This patch description:
    
    Modern vfs_fallocate() checks flags for sanity. To avoid EOPNOTSUPP error,
    we have to list FALLOC_FL_CONVERT_AND_EXTEND among other valid flags. Also,
    to keep checks uniform, the patch also enforces exclusiveness of the flag.
