block/file-posix: Reduce xfsctl() use

This patch removes xfs_write_zeroes() and xfs_discard().  Both functions
have been added just before the same feature was present through
fallocate():

- fallocate() has supported PUNCH_HOLE for XFS since Linux 2.6.38 (March
  2011); xfs_discard() was added in December 2010.

- fallocate() has supported ZERO_RANGE for XFS since Linux 3.15 (June
  2014); xfs_write_zeroes() was added in November 2013.

Nowadays, all systems that qemu runs on should support both fallocate()
features (RHEL 7's kernel does).

xfsctl() is still useful for getting the request alignment for O_DIRECT,
so this patch does not remove our dependency on it completely.

Note that xfs_write_zeroes() had a bug: It calls ftruncate() when the
file is shorter than the specified range (because ZERO_RANGE does not
increase the file length).  ftruncate() may yield and then discard data
that parallel write requests have written past the EOF in the meantime.
Dropping the function altogether fixes the bug.
