Hm, you got IO failures here because shmem_fallocate doesn't support
FL_ZERO_RANGE range.  That might not be too hard to add, but there's a
broader problem of detecting fallocate support--

The loop driver assumes that if the file has an fallocate method then
it's safe to set max_discard_sectors (and now max_write_zeroes_sectors)
to UINT_MAX>>9.  There's currently no good way to detect which modes are
supported by a filesystem's ->fallocate function, or to discover the
required granularity.

Right now we tell application developers that the way to discover the
conditions under which fallocate will work is to try it and see if they
get EOPNOTSUPP.

One way to "fix" this would be to fix lo_fallocate to set RQF_QUIET if
the filesystem returns EOPNOTSUPP, which gets rid of the log messages.
We probably ought to zero out the appropriate max_*_sectors if we get
EOPNOTSUPP.
