Anatol Belski d7a7d73622 block: Fall back to write when fallocate returns EOPNOTSUPP
Filesystems such as tmpfs do not support fallocate with
FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE or FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and return EOPNOTSUPP.
When a raw disk image lives on such a filesystem, virtio write zeroes
and discard requests fail with IOERR.

Use the WriteZeroesAt trait from vmm_sys_util through AlignedFile,
which already bundles fallocate with a positional write fallback.
For punch_hole, catch EOPNOTSUPP and fall back to the same trait.

The io_uring engine previously submitted fallocate directly through
the ring, where the async EOPNOTSUPP completion had no retry path.
Route it through the same sync helpers that the other engines
already use.
