I _still_ think this looks weird, and would be better as either:

if (prealloc != PREALLOC_MODE_NONE &&
    prealloc != PREALLOC_MODE_METADATA) {

to make it obvious that you are filtering for two acceptable modes, or as:

if (prealloc == PREALLOC_MODE_FALLOC ||
    prealloc == PREALLOC_MODE_FULL) {

to make it obvious the modes that you do not support.  But my complaint
is not strong enough to prevent this patch, especially if later in the
series revisits this code.
