Subject: [PATCH] block: Don't invalidate pagecache for invalid falloc modes

Only call truncate_bdev_range() if the fallocate mode is
supported. This fixes a bug where data in the pagecache
could be invalidated if the fallocate() was called on the
block device with an invalid mode.

Fixes: 25f4c41415e5 ("block: implement (some of) fallocate for block devices")
