[PATCH] Check for immutable flag in fallocate path

[Marco Stornelli]

From: Marco Stornelli <marco.stornelli@xxxxxxxxx>

All fs must check for the immutable flag in their fallocate callback.
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. Only Ocfs2 check for the immutable flag at the
moment.
