tmpfs: support fallocate FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE
tmpfs has supported hole-punching since 2.6.16, via
madvise(,,MADV_REMOVE).
But nowadays fallocate(,FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE|FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE,,) is
the agreed way to punch holes.
So add shmem_fallocate() to support that, and tweak shmem_truncate_range()
to support partial pages at both the beginning and end of range (never
needed for madvise, which demands rounded addr and rounds up length).
