4.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Davide Italiano <dccitaliano@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 280227a75b56ab5d35854f3a77ef74a7ad56a203 upstream.
fallocate() checks that the file is extent-based and returns
EOPNOTSUPP in case is not. Other tasks can convert from and to
indirect and extent so it's safe to check only after grabbing
the inode mutex.
