How about 'fallback_to_mmap' instead of resize?

Or even simpler, we don't really need a different set of fallbacks for resize
than the other uses. It seems the patch adding the preallocation to FileResize
should have used safezero instead of reimplementing it.

(I also wonder if there are systems without posix_fallocate, but having the
syscall...)

ACK to safezero implementation with all four methods:

int
safezero(int fd, off_t offset, off_t len)
{
    if (virFileFdPosixFallocate(fd, offset, len) == 0)
        return 0;
    if (safezero_sys_fallocate(fd, offset, len) == 0)
        return 0;
    if (safezero_mmap(fd, offset, len) == 0)
        return 0;
    return safezero_slow(fd, offset, len);
}
