From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@huawei.com>

Add support for FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES. It directly calls
blkdev_issue_zeroout() with flags set to 0. The underlying process will
attempt to use the fastest method for issuing zeroes. First, the block
layer will try to issue a write zeroes command if the storage device
supports it; if not, it will fall back to issuing zeroed data. Then, the
storage device driver may attempt to submit an unmap write zero command
if the device supports it; if not, the driver may fall back to
submitting a no-unmap write zeroes command.
