From: Sarthak Kukreti <sarthakkukreti@chromium.org>

Adds a per-file provision override that allows select files to
override the per-mount setting for provisioning blocks on allocation.

This acts as a mechanism to allow mounts using provision to
replicate the current behavior for fallocate() and only preserve
space at the filesystem level.
