Test 274 in xfstests

  Hello,

  test 274 fails e.g. for ext3 because it does not support fallocate(). So
I would think the best way to fix the is to add to the test
  _require_xfs_io_falloc()
so that the test is run only for filesystems which do support fallocate.
But with that is connected one slightly related question - why does the
test use fallocate(1) binary instead of "xfs_io falloc" command which is
more common in xfstests?
