Well, but that also means we want all other users of the invalidate_lock
to be killable, as fallocate vs fallocate synchronization is probably
not the interesting case.
Or we should limit the locked batch size of block device fallocates that
actually do write zeroes, which never really was the intent of the
fallocate interface to start with..
