Subject: [PATCH v4 4/6] fat: fallback to buffered write in case of fallocated region on direct IO

From: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@...sung.com>

For normal cases of direct IO write, trying to seek to location greater
than file size, makes it fall back to buffered write to fill that region.
Similarly, in case for write in Fallocated region, make it fall to
buffered write.
