fs: Add support FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE for fallocate

Browse source 
FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE command is the opposite command of
FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE that is needed for someone who wants to add
some data in the middle of file.

FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE will create space for writing new data within
a file after shifting extents to right as given length. This command
also has same limitations as FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE in that
operations need to be filesystem block boundary aligned and cannot
cross the current EOF.

#define FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE 0x10
/*
* FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE is use to insert space within the file size without
* overwriting any existing data. The contents of the file beyond offset are
* shifted towards right by len bytes to create a hole. As such, this
* operation will increase the size of the file by len bytes.
*
* 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.
*
* Attempting to insert space using this flag at OR beyond the end of
* the file is considered an illegal operation - just use ftruncate(2) or
* fallocate(2) with mode 0 for such type of operations.
