Hi,

https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1507 reports a bug in FUSE
exports: fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE) is implemented with blk_pdiscard(), but
its man page documents that a successful call will result in the data
being read as zero.  blk_pdiscard() does not guarantee this, so we must
use blk_pwrite_zeroes() instead (with MAY_UNMAP | NO_FALLBACK, which
differentiates it from fallocate(ZERO_RANGE)).

Patch 2 adds a regression test.
