Subject: Re: [PATCH v3] posix_fallocate.3: add EOPNOTSUPP error code.
As can be seen in
https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/fcntl/posix_fallocate.c?id=73cc775bee53300c7cf759f37580220b18ac13d3
musl libc returns the syscall's errors directly, which means it doesn't
perform the same emulation as glibc, and can return EOPNOTSUPP to an
application, which isnt't listed in ERRORS.

Made a small correction to the formatting for fd.
