The fallocate system call takes a mode argument, but that argument contains a wild mix of exclusive modes and an optional flags. Replace FALLOC_FL_SUPPORTED_MASK with FALLOC_FL_MODE_MASK, which excludes the optional flag bit, so that we can use switch statement on the value to easily enumerate the cases while getting the check for duplicate modes for free. To make this (and in the future the file system implementations) more readable also add a symbolic name for the 0 mode used to allocate blocks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
