Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Do not block RWF_NOWAIT dio write on unallocated space

Since commit 378f32bab371 ("ext4: introduce direct I/O write using iomap
infrastructure") we don't properly bail out of RWF_NOWAIT direct IO
write if underlying blocks are not allocated. Also
ext4_dio_write_checks() does not honor RWF_NOWAIT when re-acquiring
i_rwsem. Fix both issues.

Fixes: 378f32bab371 ("ext4: introduce direct I/O write using iomap infrastructure")
