Subject: [RFC PATCH 05/17] btrfs: disable fallocate in HMZONED mode

fallocate() is implemented by reserving actual extent instead of
reservations. This can result in exposing the sequential write constraint
of host-managed zoned block devices to the application, which would break
the POSIX semantic for the fallocated file.  To avoid this, report
fallocate() as not supported when in HMZONED mode.
