Check for immutable/append flag in fallocate path


In the fallocate path the kernel doesn't check for the immutable/append
flag. It's possible to have a race condition in this scenario: an
application open a file in read/write and it does something, meanwhile
root set the immutable flag on the file, the application at that point
can call fallocate with success. In addition, we don't allow to do any
unreserve operation on an append only file but only the reserve one.
