[LTP] [PATCH] fallocate05: Allow ENXIO error from lseek(SEEK_DATA) on empty file

Some filesystems release deallocated blocks in larger chunks.
On these filesystems, the whole test file needs to be deallocated
to allow the final write to pass. However, lseek(SEEK_DATA) may
return ENXIO error if the entire file range from offset to end of file
is one large hole. Allow ENXIO error in this special case.
