tmpfs: support fallocate FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE
tmpfs has supported hole-punching since 2.6.16, via madvise(,,MADV_REMOVE). But nowadays fallocate(,FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE|FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE,,) is the agreed way to punch holes. So add shmem_fallocate() to support that, and tweak shmem_truncate_range() to support partial pages at both the beginning and end of range (never needed for madvise, which demands rounded addr and rounds up length).
