cmd/link: in TestFallocate, only check number of blocks on Darwin

The number-of-blocks check was introduced when fixing a Darwin-
specific bug. On Darwin, the file allocation syscall is a bit
tricky. On Linux and BSDs, it is more straightforward and unlikely
to go wrong.

The test itself, on the other hand, is less reliable on Linux (and
perhaps BSDs), as it is considered less portable and is an
implementation detail of the file system.

Given these two reasons, only check it on Darwin.

Fixes #75795.
