Also, in order to be used in a source file, HAVE_SYNC_FILE_RANGE

Fixes commit caae99e5eaa0 ("Refactor xlog writer").

cmake/os.cmake already has `add_definitions("-D_GNU_SOURCE")`, is that
not sufficient?

Looks like not. I checked - sync_page_range isn't used on Linux without
this patch.

It looks similar to the cmake issue [1].

Maybe it is better to set CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS in sync with
add_definitions (in os.cmake), what do you think?

I don't think so. We typically set CMAKE_REQUIRED_* before checking for
symbols.

BTW, I should have probably used set() instead of list(APPEND).
