Generic/300 fails when run on a test filesystem that does not support
fallocate(). It uses fio's falloc ioengine to generate part of its I/O
load and both allocates blocks and punches holes.  This causes EOPNOTSUPP
failures when the test is run on indirect block-mapped ext4 filesystems
or pre-3.14 ext4 filesystems created with bigalloc.

Verify that the test filesystem supports fallocate() before proceeding
with the test, checking for both block allocation and hole punching
capabilities.  Also, delete any pre-existing test output.

Makes sense. Same for the second patch, too.
