vfs: deny fallocate() on directory
There was an obscure use case of fallocate of directory inode
in the vfs helper with the comment:
"Let individual file system decide if it supports preallocation
for directories or not."
But there is no in-tree file system that implements fallocate
for directory operations.
Deny an attempt to fallocate a directory with EISDIR error.
This change is needed prior to converting sb_start_write()
to file_start_write(), so freeze protection is correctly
handled for cases of fallocate file and blockdev.
