For this NFSv4.2 case, I think we have to actually run "falloc -k" to
check whether the underlying fs supports (FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE) or not.

Current check in _require_xfs_io_command only checks whether xfs_io
knows the given option, not the underlying fs. And in this NFSv4.2 case,
NFSv4.2 supports fallocate(2), and xfs_io falloc command knows "-k"
option, so test runs on NFS.
