You should set errno to ENOSYS and return -1 if HAVE_FALLOCATE isn't
defined.

This would have to be wrapped in #ifdef HAVE_FALLOCATE or
HAVE_LINUX_FALLOC_H; if you want to create a wrapper around fallocate() you
should add PG defines for the flags, too. Otherwise it's probably easier to
just call fallocate() directly inside an #ifdef block as you did in xlog.c.

Return value should be checked; if it's -1 and errno is something else than
ENOSYS or EOPNOTSUPP the disk space allocation failed and you must return an
error.
