Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ext4: set FMODE_CAN_ODIRECT instead of a dummy direct_IO method

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@....de>

Since commit a2ad63daa88b ("VFS: add FMODE_CAN_ODIRECT file flag") file
systems can just set the FMODE_CAN_ODIRECT flag at open time instead of
wiring up a dummy direct_IO method to indicate support for direct I/O.

Stumbled upon [1], while I was trying to enable this flag in ext4_file_open().
Looks like it might have slipped through the cracks.
Hence sending this patch with Christoph as the author.
