[New-bugs-announce] [issue40212] Re-enable posix_fallocate and posix_fadvise on AIX

[Batuhan Taskaya]

New submission from Batuhan Taskaya <batuhanosmantaskaya at gmail.com>:

fallocate and fadvise was problematic in AIX because of a bug that presents at the time of 2014, which looks like resolved in 2016. I think we can safely re-enable those functions back. I've tested this patch on AIX 7.2 and it works, this patch will also require pre-testing of buildbots.
