loop: Disable fallocate() zero and discard if not supported 

If fallcate is implemented but zero and discard operations are not
supported by the filesystem the backing file is on we continue to fill
dmesg with errors from the blk_mq_end_request() since each time we call
fallocate() on the loop device the EOPNOTSUPP error from lo_fallocate()
ends up propagated into the block layer. In the end syscall succeeds
since the blkdev_issue_zeroout() falls back to writing zeroes which
makes the errors even more misleading and confusing.

How to reproduce:

1. make sure /tmp is mounted as tmpfs
2. dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/disk.img bs=1M count=100
3. losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/disk.img
4. mkfs.ext2 /dev/loop0
5. dmesg |tail

This patch changes the lo_fallocate() to clear the flags for zero and
discard operations if we get EOPNOTSUPP from the backing file fallocate
callback, that way we at least stop spewing errors after the first
unsuccessful try.
