fs: add ksys_fallocate() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_fallocate()
Using the ksys_fallocate() wrapper allows us to get rid of in-kernel
calls to the sys_fallocate() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this
function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In
particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_fallocate().
This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see
