Michael Kerrisk 85a2d4588e fallocate.2: Note lack of glibc wrapper; caller must use syscall(2)
Glibc doesn't (and quite probably won't) include a wrapper for this
system call.  Therefore, point out that potential callers will need
to use syscall(2), and rewrite the RETURN VALUE text to show things
as they would be if syscall() is used.

for the portable API.
