block/raw-posix: call plain fallocate in handle_aiocb_write_zeroes

There is a possibility that we are extending our image and thus writing
zeroes beyond the end of the file. In this case we do not need to care
about the hole to make sure that there is no data in the file under
this offset (pre-condition to fallocate(0) to work). We could simply call
fallocate(0).

This improves the performance of writing zeroes even on really old
platforms which do not have even FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE.

Before the patch do_fallocate was used when either
CONFIG_FALLOCATE_PUNCH_HOLE or CONFIG_FALLOCATE_ZERO_RANGE are defined.
Now the story is different. CONFIG_FALLOCATE is defined when Linux
fallocate is defined, posix_fallocate is completely different story
(CONFIG_POSIX_FALLOCATE). CONFIG_FALLOCATE is mandatory prerequite
for both CONFIG_FALLOCATE_PUNCH_HOLE and CONFIG_FALLOCATE_ZERO_RANGE
thus we are on the safe side.
