libext2fs: use ZERO_RANGE before PUNCH_HOLE in unix_zeroout
In unix_zeroout() for files, we should try a ZERO_RANGE before we try
PUNCH_HOLE because the former will not cause us to lose preallocated
blocks. Since block devices have supported fallocate for a few years
now, refactor the fallocate calls into a helper and call it from either
case.
