Subject: target/file: Do not return error for UNMAP if length is zero

From: Jiang Yi <jiangyilism@gmail.com>


[ Upstream commit 594e25e73440863981032d76c9b1e33409ceff6e ]

The function fd_execute_unmap() in target_core_file.c calles

ret = file->f_op->fallocate(file, mode, pos, len);

Some filesystems implement fallocate() to return error if
length is zero (e.g. btrfs) but according to SCSI Block
Commands spec UNMAP should return success for zero length.
