Stores through a shared writable mapping and fallocate with
FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE, FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE, FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE or
FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE do not go through ->write_begin, so they bypass
the COW inode and modify the original inode directly. Reject them while
the file is in atomic write mode, as fallocate already does for pinned
and compressed files. A write fault gets SIGBUS and fallocate gets
-EOPNOTSUPP.
fallocate without these flags only preallocates blocks and stays
allowed.
Fixes: 3db1de0e582c ("f2fs: change the current atomic write way")
