    Fix fallocate(1) manpage
    
    To be honest, I had a little misunderstanding of the fallocate(1)-
    utility.
    It turns out that it only adds preallocated space if the length
    exceeds the size of an already existing file.
    No truncation happens.
    
    Thus, I fixed the wording accordingly.
