     xfstests: don't assume that falloc_punch implies falloc in test 255

     As of Linux 3.9-rc1, ext4 will support the punch operation on file
     systems using indirect blocks, but it can not support the fallocate
     operation (since there is no way to mark a block as uninitialized
     using indirect block scheme).  This caused test 255 to fail, since it
     only used _require_xfS_io_falloc_punch assuming that all file systems
     which supported punch can also support fallocate.  Fix this.
