Ka Ho Ng 1eaa36523c fspacectl(2): Clarifies the return values
rmacklem@ spotted two things in the system call:
- Upon returning from a successful operation, vop_stddeallocate can
  update rmsr.r_offset to a value greater than file size. This behavior,
  although being harmless, can be confusing.
- The EINVAL return value for rqsr.r_offset + rqsr.r_len > OFF_MAX is
  undocumented.

This commit has the following changes:
- vop_stddeallocate and shm_deallocate to bound the the affected area
  further by the file size.
- The EINVAL case for rqsr.r_offset + rqsr.r_len > OFF_MAX is
  documented.
- The fspacectl(2), vn_deallocate(9) and VOP_DEALLOCATE(9)'s return
  len is explicitly documented the be the value 0, and the return offset
  is restricted to be the smallest of off + len and current file size
  suggested by kib@. This semantic allows callers to interact better
  with potential file size growth after the call.
