Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 3/3] ext4: Notify block device about
 fallocate(0)-assigned blocks

[I missed debug hunk appeared in v1. Please, see correct patch below]

Call sb_issue_assign_range() after extent range was allocated
on user request. Hopeful, this helps block device to maintain
its internals in the best way, if this is appliable.
