vfs: add a FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE mode to fallocate to unshare a range of blocks

Browse Source 
Add a new fallocate mode flag that explicitly unshares blocks on
filesystems that support such features.  The new flag can only
be used with an allocate-mode fallocate call.

* FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE is used to unshare shared blocks within the
* file size without overwriting any existing data. The purpose of this
* call is to preemptively reallocate any blocks that are subject to
* copy-on-write.
*
* Different filesystems may implement different limitations on the
* granularity of the operation. Most will limit operations to filesystem
* block size boundaries, but this boundary may be larger or smaller
* depending on the filesystem and/or the configuration of the filesystem
* or file.
*
* This flag can only be used with allocate-mode fallocate, which is
* to say that it cannot be used with the punch, zero, collapse, or
* insert range modes.
