ext4: add FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES support

Add support for FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES if the underlying device enable
the unmap write zeroes operation. This first allocates blocks as
unwritten, then issues a zero command outside of the running journal
handle, and finally converts them to a written state.
