Subject: [PATCH 3/3 v3] ext4: add dio overwrite nolock

From: Zheng Liu <wenqing.lz@...bao.com>

Aligned and overwrite direct I/O can be parallelized.  In ext4_file_dio_write,
we first check whether these conditions are satisfied or not.  If so, we
take i_data_sem and release i_mutex lock directly.  Meanwhile iocb->private is
set to indicate that this is a dio overwrite, and it will be handled in
ext4_ext_direct_IO.
