[PATCH] generic: add fallocate() check to generic/311

[PATCH] generic: add fallocate() check to generic/311

[Eric Whitney]

Generic/311 fails when run on a test filesystem that does not support
fallocate().  Its I/O load is produced by fsync-tester, which uses
fallocate() system calls to allocate blocks for some of its test cases.
This causes EOPNOTSUPP failures when the test is run on indirect
block-mapped ext4 filesystems.

Verify that the test filesystem supports fallocate() before proceeding
with the test, checking for block allocation capabilities.  Also, fix a
minor error message typo.
