For FA_ALLOCATE, it's supposed to change the file size if we
allocate past EOF, right?

I would argue no.  Use truncate for that.

The patch I posted for ext4 *does* change the filesize after
preallocation, if required (i.e. when preallocation is after EOF).
I may have to change that, if we decide on not doing this.
