In XFS, we always update the inode change and modification time when any fallocate() operation succeeds. Furthermore, as various fallocate modes can change the file contents (extending EOF, punching holes, zeroing things, shifting extents), we should drop file privileges like suid just like we do for a regular write(). There's already a VFS helper that figures all this out for us, so use that. The net effect of this is that we no longer drop suid/sgid if the caller is root, but we also now drop file capabilities. We also move the xfs_update_prealloc_flags() function so that it now is only called by the scope that needs to set the the prealloc flag. Based on a patch from Darrick Wong.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
