Here, we have syscall() with first argument being the system call number - so what you suggested is not correct.
But, yes, the synopsis should change at some time. Maybe to something like:
#include <fcntl.h>
long fallocate(int fd, int mode, loff_t offset, loff_t len);

Will add following errors:
EINTR A signal was caught during execution EIO An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to a file system. EOPNOTSUPP The mode is not supported on the file descriptor.
and will update following :
EINVAL offset was less than 0, or len was less than or equal to 0.
