From: Ritesh Harjani <riteshh@linux.ibm.com>

Add another falloc test entry which could hit a kernel bug
with ext4 fast_commit feature w/o below kernel commit [1].

<log>
[ 410.888496][ T2743] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ext4_mb_mark_bb+0x26a/0x6c0
[ 410.890432][ T2743] Read of size 8 at addr ffff888171886000 by task mount/2743

This happens when falloc -k size is huge which spans across more than
1 flex block group in ext4. This causes a bug in fast_commit replay
code which is fixed by kernel commit at [1].
